ACTOR Enchong Dee was rushed to the Makati Medical Center after suffering from a severe allergic reaction that nearly closed his throat.
“Thank you to all the ER doctors and nurses in Makati Med. My throat almost closed if it wasn’t for their quick response,” he shared on Instagram.
The actor appeared to have experienced laryngeal edema, or swelling of the throat, a symptom of anaphylaxis, which can be life-threatening if not treated immediately.
“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,” he added.
Enchong also emphasized the importance of being prepared: “Health insurance is a must! Ang bigat bigat ng extra gastos pag may karamdaman tayo.”
