I put ds to bed last night looking fine. An hour later he was awake with very swollen and red eyes. I showered him down and have him two spoons of certirizine last night and two this morning, but it hasn't gone down at all. Can anyone suggest a better treatment?
I don't know what he reacted to. Best guess is either pollen, as he has been a bit sneezy lately, or peanuts as he had a cereal bar before bed. He has never had a reaction to peanuts or tree nuts before, but I know allergies can come on suddenly. I am scared to give him more peanuts to test, so will contact gp surgery tomorrow about a possible allergy test.
