Hello,

Yes please consult your nearest doctor in person for proper evaluation and treatment

Even if symptoms are brief and mild now, throat symptoms are not safe to ignore and future reactions can worsen.

Thank you

If you’re experiencing throat tightness and pain when swallowing shellfish, it’s definitely something to pay attention to. These could be signs of a mild allergic reaction, and though it resolves after a short time, there’s a potential for more severe reactions in the future. Allergic reactions can escalate quickly, sometimes leading to more serious symptoms like difficulty breathing or anaphylaxis. In terms of taking action, I recommend that you avoid eating shellfish until you’re able to see a healthcare professional. It’s important to discuss these symptoms with a doctor to assess your risk and consider allergy testing. They might recommend you carry an antihistamine or even an epinephrine auto-injector, depending on the severity of your allergies and medical history. Be sure to monitor for any additional symptoms that could arise, like skin rashes or swelling, and seek immediate medical attention if symptoms become more intense or involve your breathing. Your doctor can help you develop a plan that’s safe and practical, fitting into your lifestyle while addressing this potential allergy. It’s better to err on the side of caution when it comes to allergies, especially since reactions can be unpredictable.
