Don’t want to dripfeed so I’ll cut to the chase! My 2 year old has eczema, asthma and food allergies, these all go hand in hand apparently! She often gets swollen glands, our GP isn’t concerned as there is always a reason for them!
She currently has a swollen gland behind her ear and over the last hour the side of her face (the side of the swollen gland) has went really red! Not a blotchy rash but a deep red and purple looking rash in places. I’m quite conceded. I don’t know if it’s delayed food allergy reaction or if it’s to do with her swollen gland. Would it be U to phone 111 or just wait until the morning??
( Idunno how to upload pics or I would upload one! First time poster)

I would give 111 a call. They will be able to advice you the best course of action and hopefully help put your mind at ease

No YWNBU to phone 111 for a medical concern.

Fruitcorner123 · 19/04/2018 22:54

What you have described sounds like something I would phone 111 for.

savagebaggagemaster · 19/04/2018 22:54

Phone 111 for some advice and hopefully reassurance.

SadTrombone · 19/04/2018 22:55

111 definitely

Honestly I’d probably go to A &E, if it’s a reaction to food or nasty infection it needs seeing sooner than later.

Thanks everyone! I've given her some piriton on the of chance it's a delayed reaction, but I will phone 111 if it doesn't resolve with it!

I'd call 111 that's what they are there for. Hope you LO gets well soon

Thanks so much for all your responses! Piriton resolved whatever was going on, and it's pretty much back to normal aside from a few little scratch marks!
