Patient's question:
Age-related condition description: Excessive prepuce, but what if I'm allergic to anesthetics?Past treatment history and effectiveness: During a past treatment for allergic rhinitis, the doctor wanted to remove allergens from my nose using a laser. The doctor applied anesthetic to my nose, and I fainted on the spot. The doctor then concluded that I was allergic to anesthetics, with a probability of one in 10,000.
Desired assistance: I'm now worried about what should happen if I need surgery in the future. Will I have to be skinned alive? It's terrifying!!!
Doctor's answer:
Hello, because people who are allergic to lidocaine, a local anesthetic drug, are really rare. I wonder if an allergy test can confirm whether it is caused by drug allergy. Second, if it is not a drug allergy, there may be some adverse reactions during the process of administering anesthesia, but I am not very sure about this. You can consult with relevant personnel. Third, there are many types of anesthetic drugs, and it should not be that you are allergic to each one. You can talk to the relevant personnel in the hospital's anesthesiology department and look for alternative drugs. If it really doesn't work, you can switch from local anesthesia to general anesthesia, of course, the cost will be relatively increased. First, go to the hospital for consultation to see if it is feasible.
