My DD (5) had to go to the out of hours doc service today as she has had 2 weeks of tonsillitis and now ulcered tonsils. When we walked in he asked what her allergies were before we'd even discussed them. Apparently her lip was a give-away, showing signs of permanently being swollen. Embarrassingly enough I thought it was just always like that ....
She was diagnosed with penicillin allergy at 8 months, eggs at 3 y/o, wheat intolerance and is allergic to atopic anaesthetic. However, I though we were past the eggs and wheat. He was so concerned about a chronic underlying issue that he has referred us to Great Ormond Street Hospital.
Usually she is a bouncy tigger type child, very funny and happy. However in the last month she has been practically morose, sad, struggling with friends etc.
Does anyone else have a link with allergy and mood with their DCs? I just want my happy girl back :(
