A member asked:
When should you go to the er for an allergic reaction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Trouble breathing: If you are having trouble breathing call 911 to go to Emergency immediately. Other severe allergic reactions like hives or severe rash may also require a trip to emergency to get steroids for treatment. Mild rash and itching can usually be treated at home with antihistamines and cool showers or compresses.
