Just seeking a little reassurance!
My DD was tested for allergies at the hospital recently and although positive for cat, dog and peanut only - was tested for all nut allergies - the professor told us to stay clear of all nuts as allergies can evolve with exposure.
All fine and left with information and feeling OK. Received a letter over the weekend saying that - on reviewing her notes he now thought she should be given an epi-pen and adrenaline. There is no follow up appointment and no explaination as to why he now feels this is needed and to be honest I am a little concerned.
MY GP cannot call me until Friday and I spoke to the Allergy nurse at the hospital who will request a call from the Prof to discuss and hope tp hear from in within the week, but that doesn't help me today!
Should I be overly cocerned about her coming into contact with any of these allergens before she gets the epi pen???
Don;t want to be an over anxious parent but this seems much more serious then it was when we left the hospital!
Any advice (even don't panic!) is much appreciated
