Tom's reaction was definitely an allergic response. The uvula was like a water balloon. Other than this episode, he has not had any throat or voice problems yet. It is interesting, however, that on my voice mail the afternoon before, he left a message and had to clear his throat while he was talking. He said he thought he had something caught in his throat. He mentioned nothing about it that evening, though. Strange! The Epi-pen is the same as someone allergic to bee sting might carry. It provides an injection of epinephran (sp), shaped like a large pen, and when pressed against the thigh, it injects the drug to counteract the allergic response.
