Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for using XXXXXXX
Tingling sensation after having salad points towards food allergy. If she is stable now, you can give her antihistamine medications. Needs immediate hospitalisation for management if she has any noisy breathing, loss of consciousness.
Better to get a ECG(Electrocardiogram) test done.
Avoid those food ingredients in future as she is allergic for them.
