Sunday noon. We were cleaning up the toys box; and William was playing with the toys as normal. When I prompted him that it was about time to have lunch, I noticed that his face skin near the left eyes turned red so after he sat down on the chair, I used a wet towel to clean his face. Today we had chicken soup vermicelli. After only a few spoons, his face got worse and he was scratching on over his face and neck, especially his left eye. So we stopped feeding him; I gave him a teaspoon of Claritin and asked Tim to give him a shower. Then we applied some itchy cream on his face. Other than feeling itchy, he didn’t not have any signs of breathing problem which told me that it was only skin reactions.
We continued lunch; but I changed his diet. I fed him spaghetti instead. Obviously he was feeling terrible with the itch that he ran to bed and didn’t want to eat just after a few spoon. So I gave him a bottle of milk instead; and applied 1 more time the itchy cream.
By 2:00 PM, less itchy and the redness on his face gradually disappeared but his eyes still not getting better but I could tell it was less swollen.
By 4:00 PM he didn’t take a nap so we took him to Chuck e Cheese.
Tim said it might be the vermicelli but I really don’t think so because his eyes started to get swollen before I fed him the chicken soup. Must be something from the toys; these toys are sitting in the box for so long so there might be dust or something that triggered his skin reactions.
