Signs of a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) include difficulty breathing, swelling of the throat or lips, a rapid or weak pulse, dizziness, or loss of consciousness. If these symptoms occur, administer epinephrine if available and seek emergency medical care immediately.
If you suspect an allergic reaction to a medication, stop taking it immediately and contact your healthcare provider. For severe reactions, such as swelling, difficulty breathing, or anaphylaxis, seek emergency medical attention right away.
Seasonal allergies typically cause symptoms like sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, itchy eyes, and mild throat irritation. In contrast, a serious allergic reaction, such as anaphylaxis, can cause symptoms like difficulty breathing, swelling of the lips, tongue, or throat, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, and fainting. If you experience severe symptoms, seek medical help immediately.
Severe allergic reactions, like anaphylaxis, require immediate treatment with an epinephrine injection (EpiPen) to reverse symptoms quickly. Additional treatments may include antihistamines, corticosteroids, or intravenous fluids, depending on the severity. After initial treatment, it’s essential to seek emergency medical attention to monitor for any potential complications.
Repeated allergic reactions, particularly severe ones, can lead to chronic inflammation and may increase the risk of developing other conditions, such as asthma or sinus problems. Additionally, frequent exposure to allergens can worsen sensitivity over time, making future reactions more severe. Proper management and treatment are essential to minimize risks.

“My visit to the emergency center of San Antonio was amazing. I was seen right away for sciatica pain. Dr. Styskal was amazing. I was treated right away and sent home with my medication. I wish more facilities would practice this without you having to make an additional stop at a pharmacy for medication. I know five stars is the highest I can give but they deserve 100+ stars.”

I was skeptical about going to the Emergency room, because for me ER’s have a bad reputation. My experience here was one of the best experience I’ve ever had. Keith at the front desk was very nice and went above and beyond for me. I forget my insurance card and wanted to know how much my co pay would be. He looked me up with no issue, brought my a wheelchair to ease my pain, as well as started”

“My first time coming here, was greeted immediately by Keith and Debbie and helped. When in the back, Nichole wasted no time getting my vitals, checking on how I was feeling, and was super friendly and comforting while doing so. Dr. Erdner was very nice, and informative. Johnny got my CT scan quickly and made the process easy, and fast. All together the staff made my visit a great experience.”
