Alcohol allergy symptoms
If a patient is allergic to alcohol, the following symptoms may occur: the patient will feel itchy all over, their skin will turn red, and they may experience welts and rashes. Some patients may also experience chest tightness, shortness of breath, palpitations, dizziness, and even fainting, profuse sweating, and transient loss of consciousness. If a patient exhibits profuse sweating along with transient fainting and loss of consciousness, this indicates a severe condition that requires emergency medical treatment at a hospital. Anti-allergic measures should be taken to alleviate the allergy symptoms. Additionally, due to the allergy, the patient may experience a relative insufficiency in blood volume, necessitating fluid replenishment treatment. Therefore, patients with an alcohol allergy should avoid exposure to alcohol to prevent triggering allergic symptoms and endangering their lives. (Medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor.)
