Hello docs! I’d love to ask a question. My parents sometimes talk about a memory of me when I was very young. All of a sudden, they say my fingers and face got swollen like a balloon, and I was having difficulty breathing. Then, they gave me an allergy syrup, and the symptoms were gone. I’m not sure if this was anaphylaxy or something else. (They also say I loved eating bugs for real, ew, haha.) I don’t really have any kind of allergy now, no food, venom, or medicine as far as I realized. I don’t remember that experience since I was too little, but I am now 31 and have never experienced anything like that. I fear anaphylaxis, but I have never experienced any kind of mild, moderate, or severe reaction. I only sometimes have itchiness, and that’s all. Is something like that possible? Someone having anaphylaxis in childhood and never experienced any allergy or other anaphylaxis attacks in the future? Also, it’s strange they claim that they only gave me my syrup and everything was gone. A part of me thinks it could be just an allergic reaction and not anaphylaxis.

Hi - if you believe you have an allergy it is best to discuss this with an allergist or your primary care provider. Make sure to have a detailed history of when you feel that itchiness.
