Mgt: I would suggest having her monitored at an infusion center at a local children's center. Does she have any cardiac conditions? If so , this may contribute. The dose of the pre medication may need to be adjusted accordingly, or a non sedating antihistamine such as Claritin can be considered. An inbox consult is also available to review additional information.
