Could Shortness Of Breath, Chest Pain And Headache Be A Result Og Allergic Reaction?
My 10 year old daughter wasnt feeling well today, headache. Wanted to take a bath and she used some of my bath scrub from bath and body works. She is now compalining of shortness of breath and chest pain. She is not pale, her pulse is 88. She is speaking fine and not laboring for breath. Could this be an allergic reaction to the smelly body scub?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
The symptoms of your daughter are suggestive of some allergic reactions. As the symptoms developed after the bath following exposure to different scrubs.
You need to test her blood sample foe absolute eosinophill count, it will helps to know the presence of allergic reactions in the body.
To avoid the symptoms of asthma, your daughter should be exposed to the triggering factors which may be a chemical, dust, pollen or food. The allergen causing these symptoms should be avoided as for as possible.
IF it is not possible to avoid the allergen you can give her a immunotherapy by consulting your doctor. For the present symptoms she can be given tab levocast for 5 days.
Thank you.
