Hi, figured I’d post this here. I recently had to get a CT scan of abdomen with iodine contrast for the first time in my life (100cc Onnipaque 350, arm IV) and now freaking out that it may be causing some delayed allergic reaction. It’s been 6 days since the scan. I didn’t feel anything during the initial IV other than what the radiology technician said would happen (warmth, etc). Now I’m believing I’m experiencing some slight face tightness and mild itchiness. I’m sure it’s probably all related to my stress and anxiety in the first place, but curious if anyone can tell me some markers or signs to look out for. The technician told me that if I was allergic to the contrast in any way, I would basically know during the IV or shortly after, and that the symptoms would be severe (nausea, bad rash, etc). I have no known allergies. Appreciate any feedback and thank you in advance to the medical community for everything you are doing during COVID.
