A member asked:
Hi. i have a severe allergic reaction to bee stings. since epipen is not available what would you suggest? will antihistamines suffice?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
bee sting allergy: Antihistamines may not be enough but have them anyway as well as zantac 2 tabs . Is there no epi pen in the whole country? Discuss with an allergist as soon as possible ( this week) and ask if they could prepare a syringe with some epi in it for you to carry ( you can get auto-injectors on line to help inject it) Please do not delay
