Quick Summary:

Oral Allergy Syndrome is an allergic condition that manifests as an abnormal immune reaction/response of the mouth and throat on eating certain specific raw fruits and vegetables such as orange, melon, pear, tomato, and cucumber, among others. The condition may also occur from eating nuts such as walnuts, peanuts, and almonds
Oral Allergy Syndrome is often associated with pollen allergy, and so the condition is also known as Pollen-Food Syndrome. The allergic reaction noted may include swollen mouth parts, runny nose, throat pain, nausea, and rarely, breathing difficulties. In some individuals, Oral Allergy Syndrome may lead to an anaphylactic shock, which is a medical emergency
In majority of cases, the condition is mild, and the symptoms may last for only about 1-2 hours. If necessary, an antihistamine oral medication may be administered. The prognosis of individuals with Oral Allergy Syndrome is typically excellent
