Síndrome del restaurante chino - Treatment

Nombres alternativos

Síndrome del glutamato monosódico (GMS); Asma inducida por glutamato; Dolor de cabeza por el consumo de perros calientes

Tratamiento:

El tratamiento depende de los síntomas, aunque la mayoría de ellos, como el dolor de cabeza o el enrojecimiento, no necesitan ningún tipo de tratamiento.

Los síntomas potencialmente mortales pueden requerir atención médica inmediata. Pueden ser similares a los de cualquier otra reacción alérgica severa y abarcan:

  • Dolor torácico
  • Palpitaciones cardíacas
  • Dificultad respiratoria
  • Inflamación de la garganta

Expectativas (pronóstico):

La mayoría de las personas afectadas con casos leves de este síndrome se recuperan sin tratamiento y sin problemas duraderos.

Las personas que han experimentado reacciones potencialmente mortales deben ser muy cautelosas con lo que comen y deben llevar siempre consigo medicamentos prescritos por el médico para un tratamiento de emergencia.

Situaciones que requieren asistencia médica:

Acuda a la sala de urgencias más cercana si experimenta cualquier síntoma como dificultad respiratoria, palpitaciones cardíacas, dolor torácico o hinchazón de los labios o la garganta.
