Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that the best course of action would be to place a high flow of O2 and rapid transportation if the patient appears to be going into anaphylaxis. Mainly because this is a severe life threatening allergic reaction, that occurs at a moments notice and closes the individuals airway causing breathing to become very difficult.
