Could Rubber Bands Used In Veins Band Due To Chirriosis Cause Allergy?

I had my veins banded 4 weeks ago due to chirriosis. Ever since then, I have been coughing every day and my throat is still sore. My doctor wants to do the procedure again next week. I am afraid to have it done while my throath is hurting. Why the rush? 3 days after the procedure was done, I had to go to the emergency room due to unable to stop coughing. I was there for 10 hours. They had to give me breathing treatments every two hours because I was wheezing. I have never had breathing problems before. I have not stopped coughing for one day since. Could this mean that I am allergic to the rubber bands? Should I put it off for awhile?

hi,
yes you can be allergic to rubber band but for its removal you should take the opinion of your treating surgeon, i think your respiratory symptoms should be managed by proper use of antihistaminic, mast cells stabilisers, leukotrene antagonist , steroidal drugs , beta agonist and oxygen under medical supervision.
take care.
