Had Severe Allergic Reaction, Itching And Redness In Body. Do I Need CAT Scan?

Hi I am 22 year old. I had a severe allergic reaction last night on sept 5th from Wine. My body was itching, I threw up and then went to sleep. I woke up in the morning brush my teeth and as soon as I walked out of the bathroom I fell on my back and hit my head on the floor. I woke up couple seconds after that fully alert. I then drank water and just absolutely fine. But I still had to go to doctor and address my alergic reaction. Redness and itching is gone. Now my main concern is Do I need to get CAT Scan? I am not having pain or anything.

Hi ! From your history, it seems that 24 hours have already past the incident, and you are not having any pain or any other problem excepting for the allergic rashes for which you already have an appointment with your doctor. At this point of time I personally do not consider the need for an urgent CT scan for you. However, if you continue vomiting, and if your family members or friends see any abnormality in the level of your consciousness, then one may consider for a CT scan after a clinical examination by the doctor. All the best.
