Symptom 6: Respiratory Issues
SJS can affect the respiratory system, leading to symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath, and chest pain. In some cases, the condition may cause inflammation and blistering in the airways, making breathing difficult and potentially life-threatening.
Respiratory complications can result from the involvement of the mucous membranes in the airways or from the body’s systemic response to SJS. In either case, these complications require prompt medical attention to prevent further damage and ensure proper treatment.
If you or someone you know experiences respiratory symptoms in conjunction with other SJS symptoms, seek medical help immediately. Early intervention is critical in preventing severe complications and ensuring the best possible outcome. (6)
