Has he got a temperature? Is he having any difficulty breathing?

santaslittleprettymum · 19/11/2006 13:23

it looks like an allergic reaction, but it looks like its calming down slightly

If it is an allergic reaction, then I think you should speak to a doctor asap.

Does it go away and come back? It could be hives. My ds had this, it would disappear and reapper. The doctor said it was either viral or an allergic reaction.

It may be the egg my dd used to be allergic to egg and reacted with hives when she ate it but if he's reacted to it from just touching it that sounds like quite a severe allergy.

That could be it - is there a history of allergies in your family? I think you need to get him checked by a doctor - allergic reactions can potentially be very serious - what have NHS direct said?

hey
thankyou everyone again for your help
called nhs direct and they told me to take him to a&e. he is much better, his face is still slightly swollen.
dp said that he did try and get ds to taste his ommlette but only really touched his lip.

waited in there for over two hours to be advised watch what you give him!!

hope that never happens again!

its how quickly his face started swelling that freaked me out and i was phoning round to people for advise and no one picked up!!
