Explanation:

This medicine is used to treat severe allergic reactions called anaphylaxis (an uh ful LAK sis). When a child comes in contact with something they are allergic to, reactions usually happen fast, within 30 to 60 minutes.

Detailed explanation-2: -EpiPens should be used when a person is experiencing a severe allergic reaction, or anaphylaxis, to something that they have ingested or that has penetrated their body, such as a bee sting. Symptoms can occur rapidly and worsen quickly.
