Athena — allergic reaction (sesame)
Camo fanny pack holds AuviQ, Zyrtec & the Zyrtec dispenser. It goes everywhere Athena goes.
First, how bad is it?
Mild = one mild symptom, like a couple of flat face hives only.
Severe = raised hives, or face + belly/back hives, or 2+ body systems affected.
If severe → epinephrine now
- Give the first dose of AuviQ or Epipen (both on the wall left of the apartment door).
- Go to the ER immediately — every minute matters. In an emergency you can take an Uber without car seats.
- Five minutes later, give the second dose.
- Grab the health insurance cards from the counter.
If mild → Zyrtec & call
- Give 2.5 mg of Zyrtec (in the camo fanny pack).
- Call the allergy lab (212-241-5548, not very responsive) or the pediatrician (718-576-2450; after-hours 718-576-1411) for guidance.
- Call us too.
