Medical Treatment

The top priority for the medical team is ensuring that your breathing and blood pressure are protected.

• If you are having difficulty breathing, you may be given oxygen via a tube in your nose or by face mask.

• In cases of severe respiratory distress, you may be put on a mechanical ventilator. This is temporary until the effects of the reaction abate.

• If your blood pressure is too low, an IV line will be placed.

• You may be given saline solution through the IV to boost your blood pressure.

• You may be given medication if needed to ease your breathing and/or increase your blood pressure.
