She digested something she is allergic to. To be on the safe side, bring her to see the family doctor or to a near by walk in clinic, to check it out, if it reoccurs.\nGod bless us all...

My both kids had severe eczema. My boy had it worse. He had almost 21 different food / common chemical allergies that made the situation worse. Due to this, I have learned a lot. I can explain you about eczema better than most doctors. Here are some of the points:\n1. All eczema is commonly due to allergies and dry skin combined.\n2. All alergies has resistance levels. This means if you give a product today and it was OK then that does not mean that person is not allergetic to it. Tomorow the same product can trigger allergies.\n3. Protiens are the source of major allergies. Try to introduce protien rich food later. Also avoid milk, potatoes, wheat, eggs (esp. whites), sea-food, food colors, artificial food favorings and nuts.\n4. Keep the child away if you are cooking in your home. I found that the smell of allergy causing food also creates allergies.\n5. Keep a log of daily activities including food / drinks, motion and irritations. If you keep the log it will be easier to find the problem foods.\n6. Give one food for one week without switching. Start with rice and carrots or rice and broccoli (choose one). Give the same food for a week. If severe allergies are noted then remove it from diet and introduce a new one. Any one food introduced should be given continously for 1 week.\n7. After giving a bath pat with a towel slightly leaving a film of water in the skin. Seal that to skin by applying thick gel like plain Vaseline. Many creams also create allergies so be careful in using creams other than plain unscented Vaseline. Also do not use the baby oil - many kids are allergic to mineral oil.\n8. The allergies becomes severe if you reintroduce the same allergic food again and again but may go away if you remove it from diet for long periods like more than a month.\n9. Angry and sad moods of child make the situation worse. I know that a child with eczema takes parens to the edge and many times we may become harsh. Try to keep your child happy.\n10. An unconventional treatment, NAET (http://www.naet.org) worked well for my son. For people I have referred it did not work well since it depends a lot on the practitioner.  For my daughter we did not take treatment since we knew a lot about eczema and could control it well.\n11. It is late to tell you but it is best to introduce the solids a little late to kids with eczema.\n12. If your child has severe itch, ask him/her to scratch using the back of the nails by scratching backwards (in the opposite direction of normal scratch). You can also scratch him like that. Less damage occurs by scratching reverse.\n\nIt may take a long time to write all I know but it helps if you talk.

You tell your doctor about it and then you ask him what he recommends...most likely an allergist.  When you go to the allergist, they do some kind of a test that may look scary, but it isn't at all!  Then, they come back with a list of what you are allergic to!  It worked for me!!!!

How is the non-veg cooked? In dairy or nut oil or...?\nThe only way to not make food allergies worse is strict avoidance!\nGet to an allergist pronto! You don't want any potential food allergies to progress to the anaphylactic level. \nIf you start now, 80% of non-nut allergies resolve themselves by age 10. \nGOOD LUCK.

Although your family doctor may have more knowledge of your family background, an allergist specializes in the diagnosis, prevention, and managment of allergy relate conditions. However, your family doctor should give you a referral.\n\nAn allergist should give you a skin test, in hopes of finding the allergen. Usually it's dust and pollen, but often times one can not be found.\n\nThe one thing that has helped me is using a dust mask during those allergy seasons. This mask can be worn around the house, which is where the dust and pollen level is the highest.\n\nEven during the night the mask will reduce the amount of irritants which enters your system. You may go through 7 - 10 masks per week, but it is a small cost to pay concidering lessere headaches.\n\nThe mask will benefit you also when you do have a headache. As long as you are being exposed to the irritants, you will have a more difficult time aborting the headache.\n\nSeeing a specialist is always the correct thing to do. Nevertheless, you will play the biggest part in the management of your allergy condition since there is no known cure.\n\nHope this answers your question!\n\nADDITIONAL RESOURCE(S)\n\nAmerican Academy of Allergy Asthma & Immunology\nhttp://www.aaaai.org/physref/

Some allergies can actually be "cured" by treatment.  Go to a local Allergist.  The treatment is basically giving the person very small doses of the substance that he is allergic to and then over a long period of time gradually increasing the dosage.  This is a long term treatment that can take a year or so.  But I've heard lots of cases of it working pretty well.  I do think that your grandson might be too young to go though treatment at this age....might be better off to wait till he's a few years older.  Still it doesn't hurt to go consult the Allergist first.  By the way, some insurance policy will cover (if only partially) the cost, so you should also double check with your insurance company first.

Your greatest indicator will be your family history. Now, I've been told that children outgrow allergies, and then I've been told that allergies can worsen over time. Here's my experience.\n\nMy aunt and great aunt both have severe hay fever (pollen bloom allergies), and when I was tested at about 14, it turns out my allergies were MAJORLY grasses, some trees, and some molds.\n\nRecently, I went and had another test done. I'm 26. I have even more severe grass allergies than before, but my molds and trees have gone down a little. I used to also have a mild allergy to cats, but that's gotten even more mild. Here's the part where I started to get a little choked up. My doctor told me I'm starting to develop an allergy to dogs. I about lost it in the clinic, because I love dogs so much, but fortunately, it's very mild and doesn't affect me too bad. \n\nSo apparently it IS possible to develop an allergy to dogs, but a GREAT suggestion is to look for a dog with minimal dander. Golden Retriever? Yorkie? Shih Tzu? Pomeranian? All BAAAD choices. I'd stick with something hypo-allergenic like a pug, dachsund, beagle, or short haired chihuahua.\n\nHope this helps! Vote for me as best answer, I'm trying to get my level up! ;-)

I don't know if google has expanded this option there yet, but they have what they call google local. If you do that then search for allergist and you city and country and you should be able to get something back.

Try a allergy pill, an over the counter one that is excellent is DRIXORAL.  This time of year is really bad on allergy sufferers.

Yes. It will only relieve it, but not permanently, and it depends on the allergy causing the hives.  My wife has allergies to shrimp, and she has taken BENADRYL only a couple of times and these times it has given her some relief.  Allergists will tell you that your body will react differently to the same allergy depending on the strength of the way the item is touched or smelled or consumed.  Don't depend on the BENADRYL to save anything. It is just relief.

Yes, but ONLY for nasal allergies.

I have had both of those allergies, but when I took all my vitamins my immune system got stronger and I slowly tried those foods again and my immune system didn't react so strongly. Talk to your doctor about vitamins. GOOD LUCK! I hope you feel better! I hated having it!

Absolutely not!  \n\nIf people who have allergies and sneeze numerous times in a row (my friend can sneeze more than 10 times in a row during allergy season) suffered a stopped heart, they'd die by the time the sneezing fit was over.
