I don't think paramedics give ibuprofen but if she went into A&E they might. Its never a bad idea to have an alert braclet.

My 5yo dd has an allergy to ibuprofen, which causes her to get a rash, and swell up. She has only had the allergy once, and we took her to a&e and they gave her antihistamines and kept her in overnight before sending her home.
My question is: should I be getting her one of those bracelets which detail allergies, so that if she's in an accident without me (Heaven forbid), the paramedics, or whoever, know not to give her ibuprofen?
Any help appreciated!

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
