Food Allergies Savannah allergist Southcoast health Savannah

With 32 million Americans having food allergies including 5.6 million children under the age of 18, the question of “do I have a food allergy” is a concerning reality many people have to face.

“Reactions to food allergens can range per person,” SouthCoast Health Allergist Dr. Wasil Khan stated. “From something simple like sneezing and coughing to more serious reactions like, hives, swelling, and even blood pressure changes leading to unconsciousness and death from anaphylaxis. The best step for anyone who thinks they might have a food allergy is to see an allergist like me.”
