Today, I ran into a friend and we started chatting. He mentioned that he recently experienced an anaphylactic shock. I didn't ask about his specific symptoms, but I'm wondering—what are the clinical manifestations of anaphylactic shock?

The clinical manifestations of anaphylactic shock generally include airway obstruction, circulatory failure, and impaired consciousness. Airway obstruction may present as difficulty breathing, coughing, chest tightness, and hoarseness; in severe cases, it can compromise respiration. The best way to manage allergies is usually to identify the allergen and avoid exposure as much as possible. Additionally, individuals may need to carry warning cards or medical information with them, so that appropriate medication can be administered promptly in case of emergency.
