Why Would I Experience Sudden Swallowing Difficulty, Lightheadedness Followed By Chills While Eating Soup?
Question: I was at a restaurant and was eating soup then suddenly had difficulty swallowing. I then felt somewhat light headed and within 10 minutes developed the chills. I went to hospital and they said probable food allergy. They gave me epinephrine and benadryl and some meds but it's been a day and half later and my throat is still feeling frequently swollen which is making it difficult for me to eat.
Brief Answer:
Benadryl
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking
It’s normal to the body to start normal function after several days.
The fact that you still have symptoms means that you need to continue the Benadryl for at least 3 days more.Glucosteroids are good choice too
Your symptoms will be relieved gradually.
Avoid the food thats causing allergy.
Best regards
Benadryl
