My daughter is 9 years old. She has a history of treenut allergies. After dinner she took her shower and her eye swollen up. She said it is itchy it is the only place that is itchy not her throat or anything else. I checked her body and she doesn t have hives. I gave her benedryl just to be on the safe side. Should I take her to the emergency room?
Hi...by what you quote I feel that she is having a starting of hives or urticaria. You can use HY Chat Doctor.  Most important thing to be remembered is that it has a propensity to recur (called as second crop) within 10-14 days. If this happens, you can start using the same medicine. I suggest you get the kid evaluated with your pediatrician - if she develops wheezing or respiratory distress or hoarseness of voice or strider or blood in stools or joint pains or swelling. Hope my answer was helpful for you.  I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
