Allergy - contact hives????

[Beach Mama]

I would check everything just in case because if she has reacted from the milk on her, then she will react to creams with it in them as well. Maybe give your paed a buzz but I know for us J's reaction is hives and puffy eyes and we have to give Claratyne if there is reaction as his isn't severe and doesn't need an epipen. She might need something mild for the hive reaction and AFAIK I don't think the anaphylactic reaction will occur afterwards as it will happen fast I think??

Good luck hun, maybe look up the different names for dairy products too - I know I had to do that for the eggs, things like ovoglobulin etc. are egg!

Ohhh yes please..... she's only little but she wants to eat so much mroe and now we know what were dealing with i can finally give her new fruits etc but am looking for recipes i can make for BOTH girls to eat that DD2 can handle.

Are Zirtec and Claratyne stronger than Predmix?? I was worried about the Predmix but didn't think of the others thinking they are both just anti-histimines??? Although the predmix was for Iz and this is for J so it's a bit different but still just wondering!

I'm not sure, i was told the predmix takes longer to work.... so i am to give her zyrtec first then epi pen IF she has anaphylactic reaction THEN during the aftermath use predmix for 3 days!

Thanks hun, we have the epi pen here if anything horrible happens, i also have the pred mix aswell, if her hives are still there i might give her a dose to help with any symptoms, would prefer to hold of on her zyrtec as it's such a strong medication.
