Hard to tell. It doesn't sound like you bother the out of hours GP at the moment, but I would keep an eye on her for 2 hours after the incident. You can give a 2nd dose of piriton of necessary.

Shocking typing sorry, I'm on my phone.

Thanks trixy, that was my own inclination, but needed some reassurance! I'll hold off on bedtime for a while then, she'll be delighted.

Ds reaction to nuts

what medical advice have you had?
what did your child eat?
what other allergies does your child have?

do they have asthma?

how familier are you with the severe symptoms of anaphylaxis?

being pale can be a sign of lowering blood pressure and dry cough can be a sign throat is tightening.

but on the other hand can be signs of a cold brewing, so we need further details.

have you tried visiting the allergy section of this site?

Apologies for above post playing with new phone

Hi eragon. I didn't realise there was a separate allergy section - that's good to know.

DD does not have asthma and has no other allergies. She hadn't eaten anything new today, in fact we didn't even get as far as ordering in the cafe before we had to leave.

Unfortunately we are familiar with the most severe symptoms of anaphylaxis as she's been blue lighted to hospital in the past. This time I really wasn't sure though. Anyway she perked up massively before bed and was bouncing round the living room. I've checked on her a few times since she went sleep and all seems well.

Mrbloom are you there?
How is your DD.
Please if you have any doubts call NHS24 or go to your local A&E.
Don't take the risk.

Ah, cross post.
Glad things have worked out.

Thanks Iusedtobefun. I'll be up during the night with DD2 who is a brutal sleeper, so will check on DD1 a few times just to be sure.
