Last night I ate a huge chunk of pineappple, i didn't think anything would happen because whenever I eat tiny bits I'm fine- when I ate this large chunk, my face got all scratchy and a rash.. then my face looked swollen along with my lips and they began to get dry, I then started to get dizzy although I thought it was my vertigo but I really disoriented and felt like throwing up all while not being able to breathe. I told my mum and she told me to just sleep, its the next morning and I'm hoarse and a bit dizzy still- what should I do? She claims I do not need a doctor and I'll be fine

    Hi, Abbey! Look, I would advise you to see a doctor because allergic crises can be very dangerous. In my opinion, you should at least have taken a doctor-prescribed antiallergic before going to bed. I don't know how you are feeling right now, but don't neglect an allergic reaction. In any case, the next time you go to the doctor, tell him/her about this episode.

    Yeah she is right! You should immediately consult a doctor if the problem is severe and being allergic to some foods you should always keep in mind to avoid them, they will only harm your health.
