Did You Know?

Severe allergic reactions: first aid

  • As a rescuer, ask the victim if they have any medication such as an epinephrine pen you or they can use to manage the reaction.
  • For automatic injectors (usually for epinephrine pens), press it against the thigh or a similar well-muscled area and press the button. Hold it for several seconds.
  • Massage the site of injection for around ten seconds. This will enhance the absorption of the medication.
  • Loosen any tight clothing.
  • Cover victim with a blanket and help to a comfortable position.
  • If the victim is unconscious, turn him or her to the side to prevent aspiration if he or she vomits or bleeds from the mouth.
  • Perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) as necessary.
