If this is not asked, you should volunteer the information. If there was local swelling larger than the size of a quarter, dosage should not be raised, and should be repeated or lowered. Epinephrine should not be included in the injection, as this may mask a more serious reaction. Systemic reactions can take the form of sneezing, nasal congestion, dripping nose, itchy skin, hives, coughing, wheezing, disorientation, extreme lethargy, or even in rare cases, collapse and shock.
These reactions may be life threatening and require immediate care. Since reactions to injections are more likely to occur if you are overtired, or are feeling unwell especially if you have a fever , you should not take an injection under these circumstances. Exercise should not be undertaken for at least four hours after an injection. Resting quietly prevents excessively rapid absorption of the injected material. After a systemic reaction, it is usually not necessary to discontinue injections, but dosage must be reduced significantly.

Skin P rick Testing. First, a small amount of possible allergen is placed on the forearm. The medical professional will subsequently observe the patient for visible inflammatory responses. Please note that results of this test should only interpreted by an allergy specialist; as positive reactions are not necessarily indicative of allergens. Skin testing is efficient, inexpensive and is often the first test suggested when an allergy is suspected.
Blood tests are suggested in cases where patients suffer from widespread skin conditions, or are taking medication that makes skin testing impractical. In this instance, a blood sample is acquired from the patient after sequential exposure to potential allergens, and analyzed for elevated levels of IgE antibodies. Tests can determine not only the severity of an allergy, but can also help predict future symptom development. Patch testing identifies contact allergens allergens that induce inflammatory responses via direct contact with the skin.
