yesterday i purchased nilstat an anti-fungal for oral thrush for my 3 week old DD Alisha.

i gave her a dose at about 9.30am and spent the day with a miserable grisly baby. didnt put two and two together though.

rather than give her 4 doses as directed i waited till later at night and gave her a 2nd dose at 10pm.. she had an allergic reaction :eek::eek::eek:

we took her to the hospital with breathing problems, rash and swollen eyes!!!

she was given some steroid and settled down a lot.

took her home and have to now take her to a pediatrician.. she is not to receive any anti-fungal treatments at all until then.

what a shock i have never heard of a reaction to nilstat..

it was scary none of my kids have allergic reactions to things that cause breathing probs.

well yeah me too.. i am a bit freaked because i had a thing for peanut laden boost bars that same day and i am breast feeding. I ate 3 of them :o

i am hoping like hell its not a peanut allergy.. OMG what a pain that would be for her to live with.

Oh bugger !

Allergies & intolerances suck ... Really suck.

I didnt even think about peanuts when I had Boof ... I lived on Snickers ... Whoops :o
