In Australia, a report has surfaced of a 12-year-old girl, who has a milk allergy and other food allergies, suffering symptoms of an allergic reaction to a tooth treatment.
According to the non-profit Allergy & Anaphylaxis Australia (A&AA), the girl’s mother recognized that her daughter was starting to experience a severe reaction. She sprang into action and administered the girl’s epinephrine auto-injector while the dental staff called for an ambulance. The girl was observed in hospital for four hours, and recovered fully.
