You should not have to wonder whether or not your child is having a reaction because you should have a written plan to refer to in case you aren't sure. Do you have an allergist? What symptoms has your child had in the past?
yes, we have a list of signs on what to look for and when to use the epi. The allergist gave us a written sheet on steps and such. Symptoms in the past were the itchy mouth, itchy lips, tight throat. Epi pen is to be used if we even think she had a cashew, almond, or pistachio. Other tree nuts are to use the epi if we know she had them. Avoid all tree nuts and anything manufactured in a place that also manufactures tree nuts.
My questioning came because she is prone to nose bleeds and maybe in all of my random searching, I caught someone who said something about food allergies, etc. I think I'll stick with this site!
thanks, ladies.
