Wow, your son is so young, it must be especially difficult for both of you. Does your doctor think the allergy might be because his immune system isn't fully developed yet? As long as the doc thinks the injections will be sufficient, it sounds like it's best not to chance getting such a bad reaction by taking exjade again. Good luck!
