Allergy kisses

This allergy does not mean that the person has some sensitivity to the mouth or tongue of another person, and usually comes with other allergies to foods or medications. Usually what happens is that when kissing someone, the person comes into contact with possible traces of any food or drug to which you are allergic.
In 2003, the student Jamiw Stewart had an anaphylactic shock in a dance to kiss your colleague Liza Macfarquharn. He was allergic to nuts, and her partner had just finished eating it!
Treatment
The goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms. Medications such as steroids (prednisone) and antivirals (such as acyclovir) have little or no benefit.
To relieve the common symptoms:
• Drink plenty of fluids.
• Gargle with warm salt water to relieve sore throat.
• Get plenty of rest.
• Take acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain and fever.
You should also avoid contact sports while the spleen is enlarged (to prevent breakage).
Prevention
Persons with mononucleosis may be contagious while having symptoms and for a few more months later. The time during which a person is contagious disease varies. The virus can live for several hours outside the body. Avoid kissing or sharing utensils if you or someone close has mononucleosis.
