Our 3 year old has a slight swollen upper lip and side of the face for a day. Went to urgent care but they said just need antibiotic and should be fine. But another doctor friend is saying I should get epinephrine injection from ER. Does that make sense?

As someone who carries epi pens when I venture out, I've been told that as long as I can breathe, don't use the epi. Now, I AM NOT A MEDICAL PERSON. Just passing what my doctor and allergist told me.

Is it possible they just hit their face somewhere without you knowing? My 2 year old had a swollen lip and forehead this morning, but he ran into a wall last night...

Has your kid been tested for allergies? Swelling can be sign of reaction (tree nuts, eggs, etc). We have to carry pens for both kids and they have different “reaction plans” from the allergist given their stages. Generally we have to monitor for two symptoms (swelling & itching, swelling & wheezing, etc) before calling the doctor.

Guessing the doctor friend is airing on the side of “if this is an allergy.. you don’t want to be caught in an emergency without an epipen”

Hi everyone, I’m in need of prayers. My mom was admitted into the hospital recently, but they just found some nodules in her lungs. Their default diagnosis is cancer, and she does have a past history of colon cancer. Please keep her and my family in your prayers. Nothing has been finite, but I can’t help but prepare for the worst & hope for the best. The only thing getting me through this is my faith in God. I do hope this message encourages you to hug your loved ones a little tighter tonight ❤️

I’m interested in pursuing cosmetic dermatology (possible Botox and laser treatment) for the first time.

Would you pass on her due to that additional cost, or consider it worth it to see the derm you want to see?

I don’t want things to go “back to normal,” and lately I’ve been reading what feels like a lot of disingenuous arguments for reopening “for people’s mental health.” As someone who was suffering from the way things were before and is now thriving from the slowdown (both in work and personal life), I wish we could all stop pretending like we were living in some mental health utopia before the shut down.
