Mummies,
just to share something.. Totally freaked out yesterday.. Had baby playgp gathering @ my friends' place and she was serving baby yogurt for babies.. Decided to let my girl try.. she loved it lah! Kept opening her mouth to ask for more..
Then guess what.. In less than one minute after, she started getting rashes then hives on her month, then her eyes then her nose was swollen! Basically she looked like elephant man!!!! FOOD ALLEGY!!!
Thank god i have been reading up abt food allergies and etc.. Called the clinic, they said to wait for pd to call back but in the meanwhile give antihistamine.. so friend rushed out to buy .. Breastfed baby and she settled down and rashes subsided..
Basically pd says if no wheezing or breathing difficulties, then give anti0histamine and monitor.. Rashes and all should subside.. In case of any sign of wheezing or breathing difficulties, then rush to a&e.. Scary !
So my pt is, if you think your child has high food allergy esp those with eczema babies, i reckon its better to standby a bottle of Zytec antihistamine for babies .. can get @ pharmacies..
Thank god she is ok now but guess will give her a break from solids for a few days...
