I’m not in the persons’ shoes but why on earth would you continue on your globetrotting itinerary after an anaphylactic reaction in a three year old without visiting a hospital? Or at least a doctor? It says right on the EpiPens to administer and then immediately seek emergency medical care.
No, with a life threatening event like anaphylaxis it is imperative to attend a hospital immediately, preferably via ambulance so the paramedics can address any issues.
