  1. Causes and triggers: severe allergic reaction, common food triggers, and risk factors.
  2. Recognition and symptoms: hives, hypotension, bronchospasm, airway swelling, and timing of onset.
  3. Immune mechanism and diagnosis: IgE-mediated reaction and serum tryptase.
  4. Emergency treatment: intramuscular epinephrine, injection site, oxygen, fluids, antihistamines, and escalation.
  5. Monitoring and prevention: biphasic reactions, observation periods, emergency services, and auto-injectors.
High-level overview: Anaphylaxis is a rapidly developing, potentially fatal systemic allergic reaction, often caused by foods in children. Airway compromise, breathing difficulty, and low blood pressure are key danger features.
Intramuscular epinephrine into the outer mid-thigh is the first-line treatment. It should not be delayed for antihistamines or steroids. Patients require emergency evaluation because symptoms can recur after an initial recovery.
