Dr. Gan Liqiang
Most people are not allergic to coffee; however, some individuals may experience coffee allergy, and excessive coffee consumption can also trigger allergic reactions. The most common allergic symptoms affect the skin and respiratory system. Some patients are highly sensitive to coffee and may develop symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal pain, restlessness, cold sweats, and hypotension after ingestion. Patients experiencing these symptoms should seek prompt medical attention at a hospital.
