Anaphylaxis Symptoms
2. Swelling or Edema
Swelling is another common symptom of allergic reactions, second to a skin rash. The swelling or inflammation that may start with parts of the body like the eyes, lips, hands, feet, and the face usually spreads fast to other parts of the body.
Inflammation indicates that the immune system has been activated and the allergic reaction is about to happen. The swellings can be severe and lead to problems such as shutting down eyes or causing breathlessness.
