Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adele is experiencing symptoms of an allergic reaction, most likely to the peanut butter in her sandwich. An injection of epinephrine, which is a type of medication used to treat severe allergic reactions, is therefore required to stop the dangerous symptoms and prevent further complications. A spoonful of cough medicine, a drink of water or a mild antihistamine will not effectively treat an anaphylactic reaction.
