My ds is 18 months and over the last 5 wks, his eye has swollen up during the night 3 times, he also came out in hives.
Then Sunday morning he woke with his top lip and his penis swollen to more than twice their normal size. Took him to A&E where they gave him piriton and a steriod which reduced the swelling over the next two hours. They said he's obviously allergic to something but don't know what and they don't do allergy testing on children under two as its not accurate. What if the next time its his throat or his tongue that swells up? Is it worth getting him tested by a homeopath or won't that be accurate either?
