What is the treatment for allergic choking?

Allergic choking is not a recognized medical condition. Choking typically refers to a blockage in the airway by a physical object and requires physical intervention (like the Heimlich maneuver). Allergic reactions involve the immune system and typically cause respiratory distress with symptoms like difficulty breathing, chest tightness, swelling, rash, or an elevated heart rate. In case of a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis), prompt medical attention (like administering epinephrine via an auto-injector) is recommended as it constitutes a medical emergency. It's advisable to consult a healthcare professional if you are experiencing such symptoms rather than attempt self-treatment based on general or non-medical advice.
