I am now so confused! DS is almost 18 months, a few weeks ago we were at my SIL's house and DS was hand feeding her dog snacks, he kept rubbing his eyes and it was about 15 min later that all the sudden his eye is scary swollen and red splotches all over his face, I rushed to get Benedryl and it helped (we have 2 dogs but are hypoallergenic) also, he has been around other dogs before just fine, just not so in his face. Then today, we had a normal morning, drove an hr away to drop off my niece (we met at a shopping mall) and as I went to grab him out of the stroller so he could walk around, he had this same reaction again! It was caught earlier then the last because it wasn't as bad yet, you could also see a few small whitish bumps (hives??) around the swollen red area. I am clueless! I am going to get the scratch test but so confused now as to what it could be!

Re: Eye swelling, redness
No there wasn't (except for the house we had been in that has cats in the morning) but we were at that house for 20 min around 9am and the reaction hit at about 3pm, which is to far between in my mind, but I could be wrong.
Ya, that seems too late to be a reaction to the cats. No common foods eaten at the time of the 2 reactions? Has it happened since?
When my DD was having really bad eczema flare ups I was keeping a log of everything she ate and noted any reactions and skin reactions. It helps, you could try that until you get the test done?
