A member asked:
For adjunct therapy for anaphylaxis during prehospital treatment (not in ambulance)would you prescribe your patient benadryl (diphenhydramine) pills or injection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anaphylaxis: mainstay treatment is epinephrine IM, antihistamines administered by any route would help, preferably oral if patient can swallow till ambulance arrives or reach the hospital, best wishes
