I’m allergic to Paxlovid; taking it makes my neck and head swell up to where I look like Rocky Balboa after a fight and my neck feels like a giant tree trunk.
Are you aware of which part of it that you're allergic to?
And have you heard of if others have the same allergic reaction?
No, my doctor just had me take Benadryl to see if the reaction started to calm down. When 12 hours later it had, he had me stop taking Paxlovid completely and I didn't finish the pack.
I know anaphylaxis is definitely a reported reaction of Paxlovid, but I have no idea how prevalent it is.
This page on Paxlovid by the NIH mentions it under Monitoring and Adverse Effects.

Thanks, and also for the link.
No problem!
