so yesterday my wife took my four year old son to a drs. appt. it was just a normal check up and he was in for booster shots and vaccines. so after the shots my wife and son left the drs. office. they got in the elevator and while in the elevator my wife noticed that his face looked strange by the time they reached the first floor( roughly 5-6 min after shots were administered) his face was pretty swollen (thank god wife noticed it). so back up the elevator they went by the time they got back to the drs. office(7-8 min after shots were administered) he was having a hard time talking. dr. gave him benadryl right away waited ten min, no effect by this time my son is having a hard time breathing due to throat swelling up. they then gave him an emergency shot to counteract the allergic reaction not sure if it was an epipen or something similar. after that he slowly got back to normal. they had to remain in the office for like 3 more hours so they could keep an eye on him. he has been ok since then but things could have been a lot worse if my wife had not been so attentive. so i guess what im saying is please be careful because its amazing how something routine can turn life threatening in a matter of minutes.( just for reference of what he looked like my wife showed me some pics of him and he looked like he just got done fighting in a ufc fight and lost badly)
