Had my anaphylaxis trainging
ooooh gosh lol (the 3yr old i have is serverely alergic to nuts, seeds and all dairy)
i m ok about the whole thing in general as i know the risk is minimal as long as im careful i dont give her anything shes allergic too (eg anything containing dairy, most bread, bread sticks, cake - its in everything!!!!!!!)
I learned for a mild reaction to do 2.5ml piriton, if no improvement in 10mins then another 2.5ml pirtion, then call 999 and if gets worse then adrenaline.
severe reaction (what she has had before) then its put the needle on the syringe, break the seal on the adrenaline vile, draw up 0.1ml adrenaline from the vile and push it right in to her thigh, then rub it. call 999, then repeat if no change.
also learned how to use the peadiatric ventilation kit for if shes wheezing when shes having a reaction.
it was quite scary, i think ill be calling if ANYTHING looks a wee bit out of place. im just woried about play groupsand other mums giving her stuff, i need to keep her right in my eye all the time, which is hard with a 11mo as well. :reading:
im getting more training from the community nurse too. x
