anaphylaxis management guidelines
Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that requires immediate action. If someone shows signs like difficulty breathing, swelling, or dizziness, call emergency services right away. If the person has an allergy medication (epinephrine auto-injector), use it immediately in the thigh, and then seek urgent medical care. Keep the person calm and comfortable, help them sit or lie down if needed, and avoid giving food or drinks. Even if symptoms improve after the injection, medical assessment is essential because symptoms can return. Quick response and medical attention are vital to prevent serious complications.
