A severe allergic reaction can escalate quickly, so timing is critical. In our video, we see a woman struggling to breathe as her throat swells from an allergic reaction. Fortunately, she reaches for her EpiPen, which can help halt the reaction and prevent it from worsening.
Administering the EpiPen to the outer thigh delivers a fast dose of epinephrine, opening airways and reducing swelling. Even if symptoms improve, calling 911 remains essential, as reactions can return or worsen. Seeking professional medical help is a vital step to ensuring safety and preventing further complications.
Our Emergency First Aid course trains you in allergy response and handling severe allergic reactions. This course prepares you to confidently administer an EpiPen and handle emergency situations with life-saving skills that provide peace of mind.
