Alcohol Allergy

by Jenny86, Oct 05, 2007 08:35PM
When I drink alcohol, is seems like everything recently, my throat starts to feel tight and the back of my neck starts to hurt really bad. I use to be able to drink anything from harder alcohol to beer and wine. Is this an allergic reaction? And if so, will it get worse than these symptoms?

Hi,

You could be having alcohol intolerance but nothing can be said with surety without a proper clinical examination.

You should avoid alcohol if it is causing your symptoms and take oral antihistamine medications for symptomatic relief.

Have you had allergic reactions in the past? Are you allergic to any other specific substances?

You could read more about the condition at the following link -

It would help to take a vitamin B complex and also consult your doctor for your symptoms if they persist.

Post us if you have any other doubts and let us know about how you are doing.

Regards.
