Does prednisone or steroid shot help with anaphylaxis reaction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not emergency medica: It is not the first go to medication for an anaphylactic reaction. For a true reactio-Epinephrine is the way to go. Steroid shot aftr the initial care is said to help prevent rebound reactions which can sometimes happen. So-steroud should be used as an alternative to epinephrine.
