Allergic Reaction, Perhaps? Posted: 12-30-05 23:52pm


As a kid i've only had one type of reaction before and that was to things like pollen/ragweed which included the whole red eyes and runny nose bit. Lately I have had a different reaction (to a perfume I presume), atleast I think its a reaction.. It's happened on several different occasions and I am not sure if I should be worried about it.. Here is what happened. Symptoms: - inside of my mouth feels swollen/partially numb, with a metallic taste which stays for a few days. - my lip gets very dry and crusty (stays again for a few days) - first day my chest begins to hurt and its harder for me to breath. - throat dries up and feels like it closes up on me from time to time. What do you guys think? :\|

Oh my. I'm quite allergic to things myself (even hair dye as horrid as that sounds)! The metallic taste that you speak of could very well be an allergic reaction symptom because I do the same. That's one of the signs that I look for when I believe i'm having a reaction. Every time that i've gone to the doctor about it though, i've been given prednisone or a corticosteroid shot, or both. It probably wouldn't hurt to be referred to an allergy specialist.
