A member asked:

What exactly is the fastest way to get rid of an allergic reaction?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Michael Zacharisen answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Epinephrine: Identifying the trigger and Epinephrine (adrenalin) are the most effective ways to treat a serious allergic reaction. An allergist can be of help when the allergic trigger is in question or symptoms are severe. Epinephrine takes only minutes to be effective while antihistamines can take up to an hour or more.
