Suggest Remedy For Persistent Rashes On Body After Eating Shrimp

my friend ate some shrimp and has broken out in a rash on her back, neck, forehead and upper chest. She has eaten plenty of shrimp before and never had any issues. I gave her some Benadryl but the rash is still persistent. Any helpful tips would be appreciated.

Hi dear ,

Well sea food cause allergy in many people . Shrimp falls in the category of shellfish . There’s a chance you may be able to eat some varieties and the variety you eat this time is not suitable for you . Allergic reactions to shellfish are unpredictable , so i would suggest you to consult doctor or allergy specialist without any delay . This anaphylaxis type of condition . Epinephrine (adrenalin) is the first-line treatment for anaphylaxis. Continue taking benadryl , keep him hydrate , drink lots of fluid and avid sea food .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
