Ep. 290: After an Allergic Reaction: An Allergist & Psychologist Discuss Recovery

An allergic reaction may end when you leave the emergency room, but the recovery journey is often just beginning. Questions about medical follow-up, renewed confidence, and managing the fear and anxiety that can linger afterward are common for both patients and caregivers. In this episode, FAACT Medical Advisory Board member, Dr. Manisha Relan, and psychologist, Dr. Amanda Whitehouse, explore the medical and emotional aspects of recovery - sharing practical strategies to help families move forward with greater confidence after an allergic reaction. Resources to keep you in the know:Manisha Relan, MD - FAACT Medical Advisory BoardManisha Relan, MD - InstagramAmanda Whitehouse, PhD - WebsiteFollow Amanda Whitehouse on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok at @thefoodallergypyschologistDon’t Feed the Fear Podcast FAACT's Behavioral Health Resource CenterYou can find FAACT's Roundtable Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Pandora, Spotify, Podbay, iHeart Radio, or wherever you listen to podcasts.Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, BlueSky, Threads, LinkedIn, Pinterest, TikTok, and YouTube.Sponsored by: ARS PharmaThanks for listening!
