A member asked:
How long does an average allergic reaction last for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No average allergy: Everyone's allergic reaction varies. There can be mild symptoms or severe symptoms. You can have continual exposure to the allergen (pollen for example) or acute exposure (like eating shellfish). The cause of the allergy, the severity of symptoms, and other factors all play into how long an allergic reaction occurs.
