As a general rule, it is recommended that only symptoms of allergic reactions that are not severe or life-threatening should be treated at an urgent care clinic, with PACS Urgent Care being one of the finest around. For example, if you develop a rash that is only restricted to a small area of your skin, you can receive an examination and treatment at an urgent care clinic. You can also head over to an urgent care clinic and have yourself checked out if you are having an allergic reaction while also experiencing mild nausea or vomiting. To help understand when an allergic reaction requires immediate care, a list of symptoms that should be treated at a hospital include: • If you develop a severe rash or severe itching, • If you develop red bumps and welts on your skin, redness of the skin, as well as hives, all over your body • If you develop an allergic reaction that comes with flu-like symptoms such as coughing and wheezing as well as moderate nausea and vomiting • If you are experiencing any restrictions of the airway, such as: • Tightening of the chest • Shortness of breath • Difficulty breathing due to swelling in the mouth and throat • If you are experiencing an itchy throat or mouth, difficulty swallowing, diarrhea, abdominal pain, increased heartbeat low blood pressure, rapid pulse, as well as a general feeling of confusion.
