Enchong Dee shared his recent health ordeal due to an allergic reaction that needed immediate medical attention.

In his Instagram Story, the Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition host posted his hospital wristband and talked about what happened to him.

He first thanked all the medical staff who helped him while being treated in the Emergency Room.

“Thank you to all the ER doctors and nurses in Makati Med. My throat almost closed if it wasn't for their quick response.

“I honestly don't know the full list of my allergies. Now, it will be a priority as soon as I'm done with work.”

Allergic reactions shouldn't be ignored as they can be a life-threatening situation.

According to my.clevelandclinic.org, "Allergies are your immune system's overreaction to foreign substances. When you touch, inhale or eat something you're allergic to, your body thinks it's harmful and reacts to try to get rid of it. This can cause minor reactions like itching, sniffling and sneezing. But in some cases, allergic reactions can lead to life-threatening airway swelling and low blood pressure [anaphylaxis]."

In the same post, Enchong advised his followers, "Health insurance is a must! Ang bigat, bigat ng extra gastos 'pag may karamdaman tayo.”
