Anaphylaxis treatment

Anaphylaxis is a rapid, severe allergic reaction that can be life-threatening. Treatment involves immediately administering an injection of epinephrine (adrenaline) to quickly reduce symptoms like swelling, difficulty breathing, and low blood pressure. Call emergency services right away. After epinephrine, additional treatments such as antihistamines and corticosteroids may be given to control symptoms and prevent recurrence. It's important to seek emergency care even after initial treatment because close monitoring and further medical intervention may be necessary. If you have severe allergies, carrying an epinephrine auto-injector and knowing how to use it can be life-saving.
