Yes, depending upon the severity of the reaction you can have any number of irritating symptoms, including your throat closing. This is called anaphylaxic shock. It is potentially life threatening if not treated. People with known problems of anaphylaxtic shock usually carry an emergency treatment called an EpiPen (epinephrine).If you, or someone with you, has an anaphylaxic reaction to something, call 911. Use the EpiPen if one is available. Even if an EpiPen is used and symptoms appear to be under control, it is imperative that the person visit the hospital to ensure there isn't a secondary reaction.If you have suspicions or concerns about anaphylaxic shock you should talk it over with your doctor to ensure you are properly educated and have the appropriate preventative steps or medications in place as well as an EpiPen if one is indicated.
