Hello doctor. In the near future I will perform surgery and use anesthesia. I have heard of drug allergies. The doctor asked me if an allergy to numbing medicine is dangerous? Looking forward to hearing from you soon, thank you.

Hello!
Drug allergy is really dangerous, so when we take drugs, there is always a sentence: Use as prescribed by the doctor and inform the doctor about the side effects and adverse reactions of the drug. All allergic reactions must be recorded in the allergy history section to alert doctors to help choose the right medication.
Anesthesia is used to numb the pain of all kinds of surgery, painful procedures and to relieve pain after surgery. If a person has ever had an allergic reaction to local anesthetic, this should be reported to the anesthesiologist and surgeon immediately so that the surgery can be effectively and safely reduced. When an allergic reaction to local anesthetic occurs, there are treatment regimens depending on the severity of the reaction. Doctors and medical staff are all trained to handle allergic conditions so we shouldn't be too worried.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards!
