had a major scare today, after giving ds hummous (I now know that you shouldnt give sesame til they are 2). the eczema on his face flared really bad, so I gave him some piriton, and he just started coughing and coughing and wouldnt stop. I immediately thought of his airways constricting, so called the doctors.
he is ok, thankfully, and we think he choked on the piriton, as the reaction was not immediate (about 1 hour later).
but it made me think:
what happens in a full blown reaction?
is it immediate?
how much time do you have before it gets really bad?
what do you do while you wait for help?
