50 and a reaction

I'm not a doctor, but if your throat and tounge were itchy I would say you should be done with that medication and see an allergist...if that was happening externally, what was going on internally? I'd want to know what caused it, so I could be sure to avoid it! Good luck!

I agree with Michael's Mom. Do not take it again without discussing with your doctor.

Itchy tongue, mouth, lips, throat are allergic symptoms as are hives.

It's possible the more you take it, the worse your reactions will get.

Give your doctor a ring and you may want to consider allergy testing for peanut and whatever else is in the medication.

Thank you both. My doctor suggested staying off it and going got an allergist as well. I guess I better, just to be safe. thanks again.

Just had a reaction to pine nuts for the first time too. UGH!!!

Yes it is frustrating. I am fine though. I took benadryl and it helped alot. I will keep it close by and see an allergist this week.

Thank you so much.

Best Wishes- Keep us posted on what you find out!

You can become allergic to foods at age 50. My ex-mother-in-law became allergic to eggs after a flu shot at age 65.

I posted somewhere else to let you know I did get to the allergist and yes, peanuts are one of my many allergies. So, an epi pen is going to be part of what I need to carry around. That, and an inhaler, as I have asthma as well.

Thank you all for your concerns. It'll be fine, just tough to figure out what not to eat when going to restaurants. I can control the things I make here, but going out will be rough at first, but, again, not the end of the world.
