Can You Die Of Perfume Allergy?

Can you die of perfume allergy? I have chronic sinus infection that antibiotics help but doesn't completely go away. Coworkers wear perfume that causes the following symptoms: coughing, runny nose, headache, itchy, watery eyes, tightness in chest and sometimes squeezing type pain in heart that comes and goes when exposed.



Once exposed symptoms persist for several days and tends to develop into a cold.

Hi,

This suggesr severe allergic reaction and can be life threatening. I advice you to get sensitisation test to know the allergen and then take immunisation therapy. This will help in preventing any further allergic reactions to that particular allergen.

Mean while keep antihistamine drug like chlorpheniramine and a steroid like prednisone tablet with you and in any such allergic reaction take these tablets and consult your doctor.

Hope this information helps you.
Feel free to ask for any further queries.
Regards
