Refuses Medicine, Medical Treatment, Etc.

My son had surgery at 4 weeks and at 13 months. I had thought we had gotten over his fear of medicine and Doctors, but as of late, his behavior has me really worried. We tried to take him for an ultrasound last week, and he refused. I spent 20 minutes trying to get him up on the table, and while I got him up there a few times, he refused to let her put the jelly, etc. on him. Now tonight he refused to take allergy medicine when he was having a bad hive reaction. It is a new flavor, one I bought hoping to convince him to be more open to...

Epi-pen Jr. in an Airport (And Some Liquid Questions)

My 19 month old son has a food allergy and we must carry an epi-pen jr. around with us at all times. Is there any special consideration we have to take when traveling by plane? I can see security claiming that it is a weapon or something like that since there is a needle, but at the same time, it is a rescue medication that is required to be with my son at all times. Also, because my son's food allergy, he usually cannot eat food out. I will be packing him some of his favorites since we will be traveling for breakfast and lunch. Is...

Babysitter Gave 1 y.o. Peanut Butter--major Hives :O(

Mostly just a vent, but looking for some reassurance, too. So the babysitter accidently gave my one year old daughter peanut butter today. She thought I had given it to my daughter before and that we had brought the sandwich, but it wasn't ours. Our daughter is covered in hives and what looks like a sunburn--:o(. I took her to the dr. and he prescribed bloodwork, an epi-pen and benydryl. She never had trouble breathing...thank God! I guess she will stay red awhile? I feel awful, even though it was an accident. Is a peanut allergy one she...

7-Month Old Baby Vomiting - Possible Food Allergy?

4 days ago my 7-month old son was vomiting for the first time right before bed - all his breast milk and then dry heaves for about an hour. He slept well after that and didn't throw up any more, was tired the next day and a little out of it so we thought he just had a stomach bug. Then this evening the same thing happened - vomited, slept for awhile, then seemed to feel better, although tired and fussy. Both of the days he had eaten little bites of egg yolk in the afternoon, but he had eaten this food already a few times before with no...
