Recommend Medications For Stomach Ache Due To Food Allergy In Children

My 7 year old son has a dairy allergy. He was exposed to dairy 4 hours ago. I gave him Clairiton. I just noticed his nose is swollen around his eyes. Should I take him to the ER? He is not having any trouble breathing, but is also complaining of a stomach ache

Hi...sometimes food allergy can be a very serious sort of allergy. If you wait till he develops respiratory distress or breathing difficulty then it is not good. As already facial swelling has started, i SUGGEST YOU TAKE HIM TOT HE EMERGENCY ROOM IMMEDIATELY.
