What can I do to protect my child from anaphylactic shock?The best prevention is to avoid the substances that your baby is allergic to. If your baby is allergic to certain foods, it's important to read labels carefully. Some foods may be listed by different names so ask your doctor for a written list of the different ways the same food could be listed on an ingredient list, for example eggs may be listed just as albumin or lecithin. Ask at restaurants or friends' houses whether a meal contains any of the allergy-provoking items, even in tiny amounts. You'll need to be vigilant about this for your child until she can do it for herself. If insect bites or stings cause trouble, help your child find places to play that are insect-free. Don't rely on insect sprays; they don't keep away bees, for example. In addition, don't let your baby walk around barefoot outside. Many children are stung when they unintentionally step on an insect. Once your child has had a severe allergic reaction, your family doctor or pediatrician will probably refer you to an allergy specialist. He may recommend that you carry an injection of epinephrine with you and will show you how to give it to your baby. Even if you aren't sure a reaction is anaphylaxis, don't wait for full-blown symptoms to surface - give the injection right away. It could save your child's life. And even if your child recovers quickly with this treatment and seems to return to normal, call your doctor’s office immediately. Your child should still be seen and the reaction noted in her records. Epinephrine is available by prescription only. Your child's caregivers at day care or your babysitter should carry the kit as well and know how to use it, and it's wise to keep an extra kit in your purse or pocket, since allergic reactions can happen anywhere and anytime. (It's not a good idea to keep a kit in your car because the epinephrine can't stand extreme temperatures.) Once your child has a severe reaction such as anaphylaxis, it's helpful for her to wear a medical alert bracelet which will alert healthcare providers to her condition in case of an emergency. http://www.babycenter.ca/a557521/anaphylactic-shock-and-allergic-reactions-in-babies#ixzz3URPwbuY3
