Anaphylaxis | Allergy Testing | Allergy First

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 recognise the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis

Symptoms of anaphylaxis can include difficult or noisy breathing, eyes/face/lips/tongue swelling, throat swelling or tightness, difficulty speaking, 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!

Allergy First clinics can help identify and exclude potential triggers to anaphylaxis. Find Allergy First allergy specialists at our Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne & Ballarat Allergy Testing clinics.
