Know How Our iCliniq Doctor Helped a Patient Who Suffered a Food Allergy From Prawns

#icliniq100hrs success story

A patient who suffered food poisoning after having prawns and rice consulted our iCliniq doctor and explained the symptoms that he had experienced during that time. He mentioned having a tingling sensation in his hands, rashes, hives, redness, and breathlessness. The patient’s main concern was to know which ingredient of the meal had caused him the allergic reaction. He also shared a list of the ingredients that were present in the particular meal and also reported a history of hay fever.

Our iCliniq doctor analyzed the situation and suspected the patient to have had an allergic reaction to prawns or seafood. However, to confirm the exact allergen our doctor advised the patient to get a skin prick allergy test, specific IgE testing, or oral food challenge. Further, our doctor also advised the patient to test for lactose intolerance, gluten sensitivity, and wheat allergy.

The patient was very happy with the detailed response and thanked our doctor for helping him. He also praised our doctor for being an expert in the field of allergy.
