Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction which can potentially be life threatening. Anaphylaxis occurs after an exposure has occurred to an allergen to which a person is allergic. Due to the fact that anaphylaxis should always be treated as a medical emergency, it is important to recognize the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis


Symptoms of anaphylaxis can include Difficult or noisy breathing, eyes/face/lips/tounge swelling, throat swelling or tightness, difficulty speaking, w...wheezing or persistent coughing, dizziness, collapse, pale and floppy presentation (in children), hives or welts, and abdominal pain/vomiting.

 

Identifying the cause of anaphylaxis is imperative!



At Allergy First Clinic Gold Coast, Allergy First Clinic Brisbane, and Allergy First Sunshine Coast we can help identify and exclude potential triggers to anaphylaxis.
