Allergy ????

Tonight my DD2 who has no known Allergies had her dinner, nothing new - bacon and egg pie and veges. About 10 minutes later she tucked her self in bed (which in itself was unusual) and went to sleep only to wake up vomiting and screaming with a rash on her arms, legs and mouth.

I have a son with allergies so I gave her some of his Phenergan which stopped her itching and she has calmed down and gone back to sleep (her lips are not swollen and she has no swelling around the face - just the red rash).

Im keeping a close eye on her but do you think it could be an allergy even if she has had all those foods before.

She will be 3 in March. I will wait a couple of weeks before giving egg again and see if she reacts.

All rather random. Why do children only seem to vomit when it is raining and I can't get the washing dry??

Tania, i only just read it.

Did she show red face and high temperature when she was vomiting?

With two older children who both is allergic to egg, they both have very similar reaction! which is very different to milk allergy reaction occur with my youngest, same as your youngest (ie swelling neck etc)

This is classic egg allergy reaction (I have checked with other friends who got children with egg allergy reaction) is swelling lip and mouth (but not always), hives (if egg contacted the skin, can be look like blisters), very pale face, lack of communication, want to lie down or sit in quiet corner few mins after ate egg or food contain egg, then vomiting non-stop till medication kick in. Depend on how much they exposure to egg, the rashes developed too like botches/sandpapers on their skin around the chest, tummy, back areas more common, rarely spread to arms and legs and often still there 24hours later.

How she is today?
