Drug Allergies treatment in Cuauhtémoc

Drug allergies are reactions of the immune system to a medication that the body identifies as harmful. They can range from mild skin manifestations to more serious conditions that require immediate attention.

Signs that may appear:

• Hives, redness, or itching on the skin
• Swelling of the lips, tongue, or eyelids
• Difficulty breathing or dizziness in severe cases

When to seek care? In the event of any reaction after taking a medication, especially if there is swelling or trouble breathing, it is important to seek medical help without delay.

Who evaluates it? The study of drug allergies is usually carried out by the allergist or the immunologist, with support from the general practitioner for initial guidance. Getting an assessment helps identify the medication involved and record that information for the future.
