Anaphylaxis is a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction that progresses rapidly and can lead to respiratory collapse. This multi-system allergic response can become fatal without timely intervention. Common triggers include certain foods and medications that can cause a swift and dangerous reaction.
At DMV Allergy & Asthma, our team specializes in Anaphylaxis management, helping patients understand their triggers and how to prevent future episodes.

Recognizing the early signs of an anaphylactic reaction is critical for prompt treatment. Symptoms may include:
- Rapid swelling of the face, lips, and throat

- Skin rash or hives
- Nausea and vomiting

If you experience these symptoms, immediate medical attention is essential.
