Within an hour his face, ears and neck had swelled but we were in Nornalop by then. He'd not had a reaction like this before. A wasn't really distressed, just itchy around his eyes and ears. It's good to take photos in these cases to see how much/little the swelling improves and the rash spreads. J raced back to the pharmacy for antihistamines but it was a worriesome night. Although rare, children can have a delayed anaphylactic reaction. The closest hospital was 45 minutes away in Albany and, fortunately, J had adrenalin on hand in the event that A deteriorated.
