A member asked:

Hi.drs, i h done ct thorax with iv contrast and now red spots with itching spreads all over my body.is it becz of the injection.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably: This sounds like a typical reaction to IV contrast. In the future should you need an IV contrast requiring study, notify your doctors so they can give you pre-medication to prevent the symptoms. If you develop wheezing or shortness of breath, you should seek medical attention immediately.
