Had an allergic reaction to mri contrast (face got swollen) hoe do i prevent that from happening again?

If possible,: perform the MRI without contrast or have your doctor consider alternative tests. If avoidance is not an option, and the contrast is necessary,most facilities will have a pre-treatment regimen consisting of a steroid and possibly other medications to minimize the chance of a reaction.
