Do I have a food allergy? URGENT.?!


Question: Do I have a food allergy!? URGENT!.!?
I love strawberry ice cream!.!.!. I eat it all the time!.

Today though, about 5-10 minutes after I was eating some, I began to have this weird sensation in my mouth!. It was going numb, and it was tingling!.
I have never had that happen to me before, except for when I eat celery!. (I avoid celery!.)
I stopped eating the ice cream, and I am drinking water!.
My face still feels numb though, and I am finding it hard to bite my cheek (the same feeling as when you have novacaine injections)
This numb feeling is even spreading to my arm!.
I am very concerned!.

Answers:
I think you should call your parents and tell them about it!. If it is spreading, that can't be a good sign!. It could be a food allergy, but it might be something more seriouse than that!.
Call the doctor's office if you parent's aren't home or don't pick up the phone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you eat strawberry ice cream often, and this hasn't happened before, I'd say it's not that!.!.!.however, if you know that what you're having is an allergic reaction because you've had one before from other foods, maybe it was some other ingredient in the ice cream, not the strawberries!. Maybe you should take some benadryl and see if it helps!. If not, I'd go to the ER!. If you start to feel faint or short of breath you should definitely go to the ER!. Don't take any chances!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You need an oral antihistamine like piriton to take the tingling and numbness away!.
It sounds as if you do have an allergy, strawberries are an iffy food for people who have allergins with other foods!. Most people have a small reaction to strawberries at some point in there lives!.
I would avoid it from now on but cary antihistamine around with you in case you experience againWww@Answer-Health@Com

Call your doctor immediately- or 911!. NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like you're having an anaphylactic (allergic) reaction!.


And YES YES YES!.!.!.!.If you weren't allergic to it before you ABSOFRIGGINLUTELY CAN be allergic to it now! CALL 911, NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am going to be completely honest with you!.

I would call a doctor now and get help, you could have a severe food allergy!. You could suffer from death if your esophagus squeezes shut, then your dead!.

So my opinion, call a doctor or 911!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
