Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
Allergic reaction to shrimp is a type 1 hypersensitivity reaction.In this reaction there can be immediate reaction that occurs within minutes of intake of allergen and another is late-phase reaction which can occur hours after the immediate reaction and can last a few hours and usually resolve within 24-72 hours.The signs and symptoms can include redness and swelling of the skin, airway narrowing, sneezing, coughing, and wheezing.
So you have seen the immediate reaction and still there are chances of delayed reaction.
I would suggest you to give him Benadryl(Diphenhydramine an antihistaminic/antiallergic) again after 6 hours.Also give oral steroid(prednisolone) 20 mg tablet i tablet three times a day.
These medication will decrease the chances of further progression but still you have to be alert when he is boarding the flight.
I hope this helps.
Please do ask if you have any more query.
