Allergies Attack

Yesterday, I brought my two kids for immunization. I purposedly woke-up so early to get them bathed and dressed so that I can reach them on time. It open at 10am. We arrived just 5 minutes later and our queue no is 16 and it was serving no. 1. :(

As usual, we went to Old Town Coffee shop for our breakfast. The business is good thanked to the paed's patients. :P We ordered our usual favourite : nasi lemak and curry mee and not to miss our toasted bread. My little girl slept on the cushion. She was sweating because it was so warm. We requested to turn the aircond to full blast but to no avail. Economy is bad and they were trying to save cost. Not all aircond units were turned on.

After one and a half hour, my little girl had two jabs and one oral medication. My little boy had one booster jab. Both of them cried out so loud during the jab. After an hour later, my son developed rashes all over his face, hands and backs. We were so worried and brought him back to the clinic. To our surprise, his rashes subsided upon reaching the clinic. Nevertheless, we still went to c his paed. It was confirmed not medication allergy because he has taken jab before. He said it was food allergy. How can this develop since the food he consumed is nothing unusual like bread with butter and kaya, noodle with mushroom and vegie. He was given some allergic syrup and he was ok after that. At nite, we continue eating............. forget about the food allergy.

My son cannot have some immunizations because he is allergic to eggs. Did the doctor tell you what foods to stay away from? If your baby has a food allergy you need a lot more information and possibly a referral to an allergist for testing! Good luck, Libby
