Suggest Remedy For Allergy Due To Poison Oak
My daughter recently came in contact with poison oak. It is on her neck and face and she now has a fever of 102 for the past 3 days and she feels like her throat is swollen/ closing. Is it possible she ingested some of the poison oak and this is a symptom/ reaction?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The closure of her throat implies that the reaction is very severe.
Closure of the throat is a symptom that is seen in severe allergic reactions. It requires immediate emergency treatment.
It can be accompanied by problems with breathing.
It does not mean that any of the poison oak was ingested.
She needs to avoid any contact with this in the future.
I hope this helps
