Use EpiPEN, (epinephrine) go to ER: You may have no problem with this, but if you have an allergy or you think you do, my advice is to get to an er asap. They will give you Epinephrine so you don't go into anaphylactic shock, which can close your airway and kill you. After this episode is over, you might want to see your doctor and get an epipen, (epinephrine) which is a shot of Epinephrine you can give yourself quick if this happens again.

Options: Severe allergic reactions can be treated with self- injectable Epinephrine (epi-pen or ana-kit). Even if you are feeling better, if you had developed problems with breathing, hives or swelling of your lips, tongue, throart or mouth- you still need to get medical care. This is because the symptoms can return. Antihistamines help allergic reactions. Call – 911 for a severe allergic reaction.
