Should i use epipen if i have a latex reaction and i have a rashoncontact and itchiness around lips and face?or start with benadryl (diphenhydramine).what requires epi?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anaphylaxis: which may cause breathing problem, fainting(shock), throat closure. Otherwise, an antihistamine should be ok. Having said that, it is better to use an Epi too soon than too late.
