What happens if you let hours go by after your anaphylaxis reaction without seeing md?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You may die: Anaphylaxis ends in death in about 1% of episodes. Delayed administration of Epinephrine increases the risk of death & the likelihood of persistent symptoms & hospitalization. The treatment of anaphylaxis is the prompt administration of injected Epinephrine (epipen) followed by medical observation & if necessary supportive care. This action significantly increases your odds of being in the 99%.
