Anaphylactic Reaction Management

Anaphylactic reaction management involves quickly recognizing and responding to severe allergic reactions. If someone shows symptoms like difficulty breathing, swelling, or a rapid heartbeat after exposure to an allergen, administer an epinephrine auto-injector (like an EpiPen) immediately. Call emergency services, as the reaction can worsen. Keep the person calm and lying down, if possible, to aid blood flow. Monitor them for any changes. After using epinephrine, further medical treatment is essential, as symptoms can return. Always ensure that individuals at risk of anaphylaxis carry their auto-injector and have a plan in place for emergencies.
