Although most food allergies cause relatively mild and minor symptoms,some food allergies can cause severe reactions, and may even be life-threatening. There is no cure for food allergies Anaphylaxis (an-a-fi-LAK-sis) is a serious, life-threatening allergic reaction. The most common anaphylactic reactions are to foods, insect stings, medications and latex. If you are allergic to a substance, your immune system overreacts to this allergen by releasing chemicals that cause allergy symptoms.

Anaphylaxis
Sabrina Shannon died at age 13 after eating cross-contaminated french fries at school that triggered a severe allergic reaction to peanuts, dairy, and soy. This led to the establishment of Sabrina's Law in Ontario, which requires school boards to establish anaphylaxis policies and plans for students with life-threatening allergies, including emergency epinephrine treatment. Anaphylaxis is a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction affecting multiple body systems. Common triggers include foods, insect stings, medications, latex, and exercise. Epinephrine is the recommended treatment and auto-injectors like EpiPens must be readily accessible in schools.
Epinephrine Autoinjector
The EpiPen contains a single dose of epinephrine that is automatically injected into the thigh muscle when the pen is pressed against the skin. Epinephrine acts immediately to stop anaphylaxis, which is a severe allergic reaction that can involve swelling of the mouth, throat, or airways and cause difficulty breathing or a drop in blood pressure. If symptoms of anaphylaxis occur, the EpiPen should be used immediately by injecting it into the thigh muscle according to instructions and calling 911, as additional doses may be needed to counteract the reaction.

dental management of asthmatic patient
Asthma is an inflammatory disease of the airways that causes bronchospasm and thick mucus production, leading to coughing, shortness of breath, and wheezing. It can be intrinsic from causes like cold air or infections, or extrinsic from allergies like rhinitis. Diagnosis involves history, examination, pulmonary function tests, and chest x-rays. Dental treatment for asthma patients requires assessing their condition, reducing stress, using local anesthetics without vasoconstrictors or sulfite components, and having patients bring their inhalers.

Vasomotor rhinitis & nares
Vasomotor rhinitis is a chronic non-allergic rhinitis caused by an imbalance of the autonomic nervous system leading to hyperactivity of the nasal mucosa. Symptoms include recurrent sneezing, rhinorrhea, and nasal obstruction. The exact cause is unknown but it involves overactivity of the parasympathetic nervous system causing vasodilation and secretion from the nasal glands. Treatment focuses on avoiding triggers, using oral or topical decongestants and steroids, and in severe cases, short term systemic steroids or surgical procedures like turbinate reduction.
Allergic rhinitis
Allergic rhinitis is the most common allergic disorder in Australia and New Zealand. It is often underdiagnosed and undertreated, and can significantly impact sleep, alertness, learning, daily function, and development. Treatment involves allergen avoidance, intranasal steroids, oral antihistamines, immunotherapy, and referral to a specialist if needed. Intranasal steroids are the most effective pharmacological treatment when used correctly. Immunotherapy offers the closest thing to a cure by reducing symptoms and medication needs over 3-5 years. General practitioners play an important role in diagnosis, education, and management, and should refer to specialists for uncontrolled symptoms, nasal polyps, or consideration of immunotherapy.
Asthma managment in dentistry
1. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease characterized by recurrent wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness and coughing, especially at night or in the morning.
2. Dental treatment can cause anxiety in asthma patients and lead to bronchial constriction, which if not treated immediately can result in a life-threatening condition called status asthmaticus.
3. When treating asthma patients dentally, it is important to avoid materials that may trigger an attack, have emergency medications available, schedule appointments for late morning/afternoon, and recognize and quickly treat any signs of an asthma exacerbation.

Allergies and anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis is a type 1 hypersensitivity reaction that occurs suddenly following sensitization to an allergen, often after the third exposure. It is mediated by immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies binding to allergens and causing degranulation of mast cells and basophils, releasing inflammatory mediators like histamine. Common symptoms include urticaria, angioedema, stridor, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, and shock. Epinephrine administered via autoinjector like an EpiPen is the first-line treatment and should be administered immediately if anaphyl
Epi Pen
1) Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that can cause death within minutes if not treated quickly, affecting approximately 2 million Americans annually and causing 400-800 deaths.
2) Allergic reactions are caused by the immune system releasing chemicals to fight foreign substances (antigens) that can cause symptoms ranging from mild irritation to constricted airways and shock.
3) Epinephrine auto-injectors like EpiPens can prevent death from anaphylaxis if administered promptly by injecting the drug into the outer thigh upon onset of symptoms like low blood pressure, swelling of the face/throat, difficulty breathing, and shock.

Anaphylaxis.pdf
Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction that can affect multiple systems of the body simultaneously. It is caused by exposure to an allergen that leads to mast cell degranulation and release of inflammatory mediators. Symptoms may include respiratory distress, reduced blood pressure, skin changes, gastrointestinal issues, and circulatory problems. Treatment involves epinephrine injection, oxygen, intravenous fluids, antihistamines, glucocorticoids, and beta-agonists depending on symptoms. Management requires rapid diagnosis and treatment, monitoring for biphasic reactions, and alerting intensive care as anaphylaxis can be fatal if not properly managed.
Allergic rhinitis
Allergic rhinitis is a common respiratory allergy caused by an immunologic reaction to allergens like dust, pollen, or animal dander. It affects 10-25% of the population. Diagnosis is based on history and symptoms of sneezing, congestion, and runny nose. Treatment includes allergen avoidance, antihistamines, nasal steroids, and immunotherapy. Nursing focuses on education about the condition, medications, and lifestyle modifications to reduce allergen exposure and control symptoms.
