Maybe u could recommend good specialist, please. in age between 3 and 15 years i had asthma. Thank u in advance. Sincerely yours, Domas
Hello, As you are getting the symptoms of allergy following intake of alcohol, it may be due to allergy reaction to alcohol. This should be confirmed by undergoing special tests like skin prick test for the contents of the alcoholic beverages. This test will help you know whether you are allergy to the alcohol and alcoholic products. Then you can think about how to overcome this problem. Thank you.
