Anaphylaxis is an emergency and may be life threatening if not attended
to promptly. If a person is suspected to be having
anaphylaxis, he or she should be immediately attended.
One of the first and best treatments for anaphylaxis is Adrenaline injection. An adrenaline injection needs to be administered as soon as a serious reaction is suspected.
An oxygen mask helps the patient to breathe and fluids are given via intravenous injections.
Antihistamines and Corticosteroids are administered to relieve symptoms. Usually the patient is discharged in 1 to 3 days.
Antihistamines and corticosteroid tablets may be continued for a few days after discharge to prevent return of symptoms.
This simplified chart would be of some help. PUT IT AT WORK STATIONS.
