Allergic Drug Reaction
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
When a drug allergy is suspected, the allergist is the specialist who studies which substance might be involved and how to avoid it in the future; the general practitioner guides the first visit and the dermatologist evaluates the skin manifestations.
What is it? It is an abnormal response of the immune system to a medication, which can appear shortly after taking it or after some time.
Common symptoms: hives, itching, redness of the skin, swelling and, in more serious cases, difficulty breathing.
When to seek care? When there is an intense reaction or one that progresses rapidly, you should go immediately to an emergency service. For mild or recurrent reactions, recording what happened and discussing it with a professional helps prevent new episodes.
