Question 1

Should I delay adrenaline while I look for a trigger or check with parents?

Aaron Griffiths · Accepted Answer

No. If features are strongly suggestive of anaphylaxis, call 999 and administer prescribed adrenaline promptly according to the child’s plan; searching for packaging or waiting to speak to a parent must not delay life-saving treatment.
