NOTE: Do not depend on antihistamines or inhalers (bronchodilators) to treat a severe reaction. USE EPINEPHRINE.
FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:
1. INJECT EPINEPHRINE IMMEDIATELY.
2. Call 911. Tell them the child is having anaphylaxis and may
need epinephrine when they arrive.
• Consider giving additional medications following epinephrine:
» Antihistamine
» Inhaler (bronchodilator) if wheezing
Lay the person flat, raise legs and keep warm. If breathing is difficult or they are vomiting, let them sit up or lie on their side.
• If symptoms do not improve, or symptoms return, more doses of epinephrine can be given about 5 minutes or more after the last dose.
• Alert emergency contacts.
• Transport them to the ER even if symptoms resolve. A person should remain in the ER for at least 4 hours because symptoms may return.
FOR MILD SYMPTOMS FROM MORE THAN ONE SYSTEM AREA, GIVE EPINEPHRINE.
