Anaphylaxis is a severe and life-threatening allergic reaction. It can happen within minutes of exposure to an allergen and requires immediate treatment with epinephrine.

Parents are frequently concerned about leaving their child with severe allergies in the care of others. Dr. Todd Mahr, MD helps parents and caregivers understand how to respond to an allergic emergency or anaphylactic reaction.

Here are a few common signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis to look out for in young children, particularly following exposure to a potential allergen:

• Skin itching and swelling
• Wheezing
• Trouble breathing
• Vomiting or spitting up
• Irritability
• Inconsolable crying
• Drooling

It is important to train caregivers on how to use an epinephrine auto-injector. For more information on how to prepare for a life-threatening allergic reaction or anaphylaxis in infants and children watch: [ Ссылка ]
