Treatment & Types of Anaphylaxis in Karnataka
Immediate injection of epinephrine is the essential first-line treatment to reverse the life-threatening symptoms of anaphylaxis, followed by emergency medical care and observation as symptoms can recur. Antihistamines and corticosteroids may be given as supportive treatment, but epinephrine remains the only medication proven to reverse the airway and cardiovascular effects.
Anaphylaxis is classified by trigger — food-induced, insect-sting-induced, drug-induced, latex-induced, and idiopathic (no identifiable trigger) — and by course, distinguishing a typical single-phase reaction from biphasic anaphylaxis, where symptoms return hours after the initial reaction appears to have resolved, which is why monitoring after treatment is important.
