Hey I was just on an allergic reaction call and on the way home I was thinking about the treatments for allergic reactions.
Oxygen, Keep airway open ventilate if you have to, Epinephrine Auto Injector, ALS
Say the patient is allergic to peanuts, sense an ingested would you be able to give the patient water? Would that even help? Because I was thinking you give an overdose/poisening patient water or activated charcoal to help slow down the process.
So would giving water to someone who ingested something they are allergic to help them? Or would it not even do anything considering that they are already having the allergic reaction?
I dont see why the water would hurt them, but if they are having trouble breathing already maybe you wouldnt want to give them anything oral. Im going to check my books on it. But give me some input on your treatment for someone with an allergic reation. Please and thanks.
