What other anaphylaxis treatments might be necessary in emergencies?

If the person can’t breathe, medical professionals may need to:

  • Place a tube through the nose or mouth into the airway.
  • Perform emergency surgery, called a tracheostomy, to place the tube directly into the trachea (windpipe).

Providers may need to give other treatments for shock, including:

  • IV fluids.
  • IV medication to help the heart and circulatory system.
  • Antihistamines and steroids to reduce symptoms, after they’ve stabilized the person.
