The child has multiple severe allergies and is at risk of life-threatening anaphylaxis .
Allergies include:
- Eggs
- Chicken
- All dairy products
- Epimax paraffin-free ointment
An EpiPen must be available at all times , and strict avoidance of allergens is critical.
Daily Support
- Providing comfort, reassurance, and emotional support
- Engaging in sensory and tactile activities
- Maintaining a calm, safe, and nurturing environment
