“These are classic symptoms of an allergy...... when the throat swells from contact with the allergen, breathing is impossible.”
Same thing happened to my wife. No history of allergies. Returning home after having dental work done, her throat started swelling and she gave me a straw to push down her throat if she couldn’t breath. Thankfully the symptoms soon subsided.
Just had my flu shot (at my doctors insistence during a checkup - can’t remember ever having the flu). Came down with a lousy cold, which hopefully is getting better.
Glad to hear your wife pulled through. She had an allergy to something in the dentist’s office.
My doctor said there are lots of medical studies of people being allergic to medication. But you dont know til it’s too late-—like Andy Warhol.
When using cosmetics or other chemical items, a good idea is to try it out first on the inside of your upper arm.....if you’re allergic it will react on your arm.
BTW, getting a flu shot or assorted vaccines -—— you can expect to get a mild case (hopefully mild) of the illness you’re trying to avoid.
