Hi,
Your clinical history is suggestive of food allergy to prawns. These are some of the precautions that you should follow -

1. It is best to avoid the food that you are allergic to. Always stay vigilant about the food that can trigger allergic reactions (prawns in your case). Ask questions when eating out to avoid even the traces of allergenic food.
2. Do not take any chances however tempting the food could be. Please be aware that severe allergic reactions could be life threatening.
3. Work with a doctor and keep emergency allergy medication with you at all times

Regards,
Dr. Prasad
