AuntieM Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 If your child did this at an allergy doc's office in the morning, were you given any specific instructions as to the rest of the day? Did you have to continue watching for later reactions, or was the patient free to resume regular afternoon activities? I forgot to ask, and now the office is closed until the day of the appointment (and we are first patients that day). Just trying to plan accordingly for that afternoon. Thanks!

Dana Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 We kept watching, but we could have done anything. My son's reactions were enough that he was on a steroid for the day and Benadryl. I was more comfortable at home but we could have been out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomatHWTK Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 We didn't have our activities restricted, but there is always a very slight possibility of a delayed reaction so we did keep an eye on things for several days after the testing actually. I wouldn't worry about the rest of the day, just stay on low alert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntieM Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 Thanks! Your replies kind of confirm my feelings that I'd like to keep my patient close at hand for the rest of the day. Off to my planning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
