Drug Reaction Triage
Use this skill when a clinician needs a quick framework for medication-triggered
symptoms.
Rules:
- Diffuse urticaria, wheeze, lip or tongue swelling, hypotension, or rapid
symptom onset after medication exposure should raise concern for anaphylaxis.
- In suspected anaphylaxis, airway, breathing, circulation, and prompt
intramuscular epinephrine take priority over extended diagnostic discussion.
- Mucosal erosions, skin pain, or blistering should trigger concern for severe
cutaneous adverse reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic
epidermal necrolysis.
- If the presentation is milder, note the temporal relationship, likely culprit
drug, prior exposures, and any alternative causes before committing to a
mechanism.
- When answering, name the most likely reaction pattern, say what must happen
immediately if it is time-critical, and then list the next confirming data.
If the pattern suggests life-threatening hypersensitivity, say that clearly and
recommend urgent escalation first.
