What Causes Reddish Color On Face And Neck With Cough And Vomiting?

Hi, my husband had a really bad reaction to something last night. His face, neck, chest and parts of his arms and back turned a bright red, almost purple. He had shortness of breath, coughing, rapid heart beat and vomitting. It lasted about an hour. This isnt the first time its happened. He also had about 6 - 7 beers as well. He wont go see a doctor. What could this be? As far as he knows he's not allergic to anything....

Hello,

All these symptoms are relating to anaphylactic reaction. Symptoms come in minutes to hours and one can go into shock as well. I suggest you to visit a doctor and get proper testing for allergen and treatment if needed, and some prophylactic medicines to prevent future attack.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sameen Bin Naeem, General & Family Physician
