We've spent the morning at the emergency department :(

oh god how awful! I hope she has a good sleep and is feeling better in the morning.
And I hope you recover from your fright

[~Hestia~]

what a worry! I hope your DD feels better very soon

[Danielle_NZ]

Oh no :-( I hope she is feeling better real soon... and what a fright for you and DH... sending you healthy vibes

Did the medicine have colouring in it? My DD2 is allergic to penicillin in any shape or form and also couldn't have liquid medicine with certain colours

Hope the rash settles soon. Let your chemist know as they can put it on their records in case she is prescribed it again. This happened to DD2 recently which would have been really bad. I am so greatful to this chemist that he checked the script and kept it to ring the Dr himself.

Oh dear! I'm glad that DD is having a big sleep, she will be doing her best to get rid of all this too. Hope you find out what the culprit is that gave her the reaction.

Thanks girls It was so damn scary. We were so worried the swelling would get to her throat. I have so much admiration for parents coping with sick children. It scared the hell out of both DH and I but especially me, I completely panicked - I was hopeless! So glad DH kept calm. Gosh, so glad he was home from his business trip. I can't stop thinking what could have happened if it was even more severe - while she was sleeping

So glad she's ok. She's still sleeping and looks fine, thankfully. I'm so drained, emotionally exhausted

You poor things - how scary for you (and your DD).

My DS1 has a suspected allergy to penicillin. When he was about 15 months old he was prescribed it, and a couple of hours after his first dose he started shaking (not badly), his teeth chattered and he got little p#ickly-looking spots on his hands and feet. Scared the hell out of me, but fortunately I got him back to the dr asap and they gave him an antihistamine, which fixed him. Now, they won't prescribe him penicillin until they know for sure if he's allergic to it.

So glad to hear your DD is doing well.

Oh goodness, you poor things! Hope DD is on the mend and you & DH's hearts stop racing soon.
