I visited a friend last week and my DS7 broke out into a red splotchy rash on his face. The rash was not raised just looked like red splotches. I'm thinking he touched his face after touching something he is allergic to. Because your could almost see finger print like red splotches. His eyes became very red, itchy and hurt. He complained of a sore throat and sounded a little wheezy.
DS7 has food allergies (walnuts and pecans) and had eaten a cracker so I didn't know if it was food related even though the cracker had no nuts in it.
Then today I visited another friend and DS7 got the same symptoms but not as severe. He hadn't eaten anything so I know it couldn't be food related but both friends have cats. Could he be allergic to the cats? He didn't pet them at all.
Do you think I should go to the doctors and see about skin testing because I'm worried about the wheezing and the sore throat he gets? I gave him a benedryl after we left and stopped at a pharmacy and now have them in my purse. He already carries an epi-pen for his nut allergy.
Thoughts please.
