Can Bronchitis Be Caused By An Allergic Reaction To Acid?
I took my 11 year old daughter to the doctor to get some warts removed from her hands. When the doctor applied acid to her first wart, she had an immediate reaction to the acid. Her hand turned red and swollen. About 30 minutes later after we left the doctors office she said she was having a hard time breathing. I took her to the doctor the next day and they told me she had bronchitis. She had no cold, nor was she sick, prior to the visit to remove the warts. Can her bronchitis be caused from an allergic reaction?

Hi.... by what you say this appears to be an allergic reaction to the treatment. Bronchitis can as well result in such scenario because, it is an inflammation and swelling up of the breathing tubes, which can I get occur due to allergic reaction or anaphylaxis.
If the same drug or acid is used again the reaction may be very severe. I suggest you to be extremely careful regarding this.
