Allergy all of a sudden

What a scare tonight. Just came back from the doctor. Sabrina had some rashes after dinner with us. Apparently prawns caused it. Adrian bought fried rice for dinner today so we shared a little with her. Shortly after eating it, we realised that she had some rashes under her chin. We thought maybe the cloth she was playing with was dirty. But then we realised that it started to spread to the other chin. So we thought maybe we could use some warm water and cleanse it. That is when we realised that it had spread to her body. Without wasting another minute, we rushed to the nearest 24 hour clinic.
She was busy playing with the xylophone that was in the clinic. She was also fascinated by the door at the reception table. Kept running back to play with it. While in the room, she refused to let the doctor take her temperature and was screaming and crying loudly as usual without a single tear. Then after the consultation, she tried to pull Adrian to the door. It was so funny even the doctor was laughing at her. Doctor prescribed some calamine lotion and some oral medication. He said that the oral medication will cause drowsiness and it would be good as she is so hyper.

By the time we reached home, her rashes were down by almost 70%. So we just gave her the medication and applied the lotion and she is off to la la land. Let's hope she will be alright tomorrow.
