Hi There
DS has an epipen in case he drinks milk. This has only ever happened twice in his whole life and he's 4 y.o. One time was my fault (I gave him a few mouthfuls of Krispy Kreme and the other time this dumb ass relative gave him a few mouthfuls of her tea as she forgot he was allergic to milk).
He's at the age where I can leave him at friend's houses. Of course I'll tell the parent about his no touch, no drink food policy and about his severe reaction to milk but do I leave the inhaler, antihistamines and epipen as well and tell them how to use it and basically, scare the life out of them so that he never gets an invite again? I'll be about a 15 min walk away and contactable by phone.
What do you mums of anaphylatic children do? I know this is such a stupid question and a dumb thing to worry about given everything else?
Thanks in advance.
