Hi,
Yes, it could be possible that she might have allergy to dextrose. Please bare in mind to avoid giving her dextrose orally or intravenous if she would need in future.
However, you should keep an eye to other foods and drinks for possible allergic reaction.
You can give an anti-histamine drug to her.
All the best!
