Partnering with your child’s school is vital when it comes to successfully managing their food allergy!

Start by contacting your child’s school in writing. Ask for a meeting with school staff to develop a food allergy management plan for your child. This often includes the school or district nurse, the primary teacher, or sometimes the principal.

After you give a child epinephrine for anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction, you may be able to watch and wait to see if the symptoms go away depending on the situation.

- Are you able or comfortable watching the child?
- Do you have a second dose of epinephrine?
- Are symptoms getting better and no new symptoms have appeared?
- Is the child alert, responsive, breathing okay, and having no heart symptoms or vomiting?

If you answer yes to all of these questions, you may be able to watch the child to see if symptoms go away. But if you answer no to any question, feel uncomfortable, or your doctor tells you to, call 911 or emergency medical services after using epinephrine.

Download one of AAFA’s Food Allergy Emergency Care Plans and talk about the plan with your doctor: https://kidswithfoodallergies.org/living-with-food-allergies/food-allergy-treatment/allergy-anaphylaxis-action-plan/
