Is There Any Option To Save The Life Of A Person Who Is In Coma Due To Peanut Allergy?

My best friend had an instant peanut allergy reaction on Monday. She is in a coma right now. Her mother wants to pull the plug tomorrow morning. Life support is the only thing keeping her alive right now. Is there anything we can do for her if I can supply the funds? Please help me. She is the most beautiful and loving person I have ever met in my life. She cannot be taken by this allergy. What can we do, if funds were not the issue.

hi,
Sorry for the heartening situation and thanks for the concern.
Generally, the most fatal form of allergy, ANAPHYLAXIS is best managed immediately by giving adrenaline and steroids. life support will usually help in recovery.
In your friend's case, i guess it must be something else; or she must have sustained severe cerebral hypoxia and brain damage after anaphylaxes (allergy) as you say she is in coma and on life support since some time.
Let her situation be assessed by a good neurologist and a chest physician.
If her situation is correctly assessed and a neurologist clearly defies any chances of recovery, i am sorry to say there is little to help.
I find this answer helpful
