A member asked:
What happens if a child has an anaphylactic reaction during allergy testing? what's the antidote?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stop testing + Epi: The testing would need to be stopped immediately, and treatment for anaphylaxis would need to be initiated (injectable epinephrine, benadryl, (diphenhydramine) possibly steroids).
