Allergic reactions to dried mango may trigger a series of symptoms, specifically manifested as follows: 1. **Skin symptoms:** The most common symptoms include skin itching, redness, rashes, and even widespread redness over the entire body. Rashes may also appear on the face. These symptoms occur due to an excessive reaction of the body's immune system to certain components in dried mango. 2. **Digestive system symptoms:** Patients may experience gastrointestinal discomfort such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. These symptoms indicate that the allergy has affected the digestive system. 3. **Respiratory system symptoms:** Allergies may also cause nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and other symptoms. In severe cases, serious reactions such as difficulty breathing and swelling of the throat may occur, which could threaten the patient's life. 4. **Other systemic symptoms:** Some patients may also experience systemic discomfort such as palpitations and chest tightness.
