Identification and Removal of the Toxic Agent: The first step is identifying and removing exposure to the toxic agent. Supportive Care: Providing supportive care, such as fluids and medications to reduce inflammation, can help manage symptoms. Specific Therapies: In some cases, specific therapies such as chelation for heavy metal poisoning may be necessary.
