Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening allergic reaction that can occur within seconds. Dr. Ruchi S. Gupta, MD, MPH explains the signs and symptoms of an anaphylactic reaction in younger patients.

Anaphylaxis can be difficult to recognize in infants and toddlers compared to older children. It is important to look for the following signs and symptoms in babies, particularly following exposure to a potential allergen:

• Rash, hives, itching, or facial swelling
• Inconsolable crying
• Vomiting
• Difficult breathing, wheezing, or coughing

Anaphylaxis requires immediate treatment with an epinephrine auto-injector as soon as symptoms are recognized. For more information on anaphylaxis in children and babies weighing 16.5-33 lbs visit: [ Ссылка ]
