What Causes Inflammation On The Skin After Having Shrimps?

I had fluvirin last night at 7 pm, then I had shrimps both last night and at lunch today. Within 30-60 mins after my meals, I felt so flushed, and skin turns red, and feeling throat flushing and choky sensation. I took prednisone and Benadryl , then I felt better. I have no allergy to either flu vaccine or shrimp in the past. Please advise.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Most probably it is due to allergic reaction to shrimps. Fluvirin rarely cause allergy and shrimps are very much prone to develop allergy. Shrimps can cause allergic reactions in people without previous history of allergy. Be careful when you have shrimp next time.

Wishing all the best.
