Today my dd had one small cavity filled and her 4 molars sealed. Immediately afterward she had an itchy throat and cough, which she gets from certain foods (mostly fruit). I gave her Benadryl right away (we carry it along with epipen for peanut allergy).
She also complained of an upset stomach, and also developed a fever of 101. Four hours later she needed another dose of Benadryl for the itchy throat.
I called the dentist and he has never had a reaction in a patient to either a filling or sealant - allergic nor fever. They do use latex gloves though. She hasn't been tested for latex allergy but she has food allergies and environmental allergies.
What could be going on with her? I'm leaning towards an unknown latex allergy, but why fever?
Thanks for any thoughts or experiences you have with this!
