Anaphylaxis is a rapid-onset, potentially life-threatening systemic allergic reaction that remains a significant clinical concern in pediatric practice. Food allergies are the most common trigger in children, and a substantial proportion of affected patients experience severe reactions. This review provides a practical, evidence-based framework for the diagnosis and management of IgE-mediated allergy in the pediatric setting, emphasizing recognition, treatment, and preparedness. Anaphylaxis is a clinical diagnosis based on established criteria, with age-specific presentations that may complicate recognition, particularly in infants and young children. Epinephrine is the cornerstone of treatment and the only therapy capable of reversing life-threatening respiratory and cardiovascular manifestations. Early epinephrine administration improves outcomes, yet real-world use remains suboptimal due to barriers such as needle aversion, device complexity, and access challenges. Pediatricians play a critical role in identifying at-risk patients, prescribing epinephrine, and reinforcing preparedness through education and individualized action plans across care settings. Integrating evolving therapeutic options with established best practices may help to address persistent gaps in care and improve outcomes for children at risk of anaphylaxis.
