she is 3.7yrs, her lips, tongue and nose swelled, luckily I noticed very quickly and gave her a dose of the anti-histamine we use for her prickly heat. I have been onto NHS Direct (in UK) and along with the nurse's guidance and some reassuring words from a friend I am satisfied the reaction is under control. For now.
I've got an appointment with the nurse-led same day clinic later this afternoon, as I think I'd like some fast-acting epi-pen type things to have for emergencies until I can find out what caused this.
Does this seems a bit 'reactionary'?
I know rapid response to allergies is key to rapid recovery, but this was the 1st time its ever happened.
Has anyone got any words of wisdom for me or advice on what sort of questions to be asking so I don't look like a complete fruit-loop at the surgery?
