What is the likelihood of allergic reactions getting more severe? Is there any way to predict? Dd2 (11yo) has had a few allergic reactions in the past to mossie bites etc. Yesterday she began sneezing and her nose ran like a tap. Then one eye swelled up and reddened. I gave her a dose of anti-histamine and within 15mins the reaction was calming down. I have absolutely no idea what triggered it. She was sat on the sofa reading, not eating, not touching anything new.
We live in Nigeria and her school is not very well versed with medical matters so my concern is that they wouldn't be able to adequately deal with a more severe reaction. Children are not supposed to take medication to school with them but I'm wondering whether I should arm her with something to take. My other three dc are all allergic. They are also asthmatic, as is dd2.
