Hi, is it possible that my 6yr old daughter may have an allergic reaction to paracetamol? We gave her a dose at 17.30pm as she was complaining of a headach at around 19.00pm her top lip started swelling up ad she developed a minor rash behind her ears and on her neck chest and back.
Dear parent, yes paracetamol can cause an allergic reaction. You should give her an antihistamines until you take her to the hospital as soon as possible. An injection of dexamethasone and evil will abort the reaction. This is serious and could be fatal in case of severe reaction
