SIX YEAR OLD SAVED AFTER TREATMENT FOR SEVERE BREATHING PROBLEM

(Hazlet, NJ) — Immediate Care Medical Walk-in of Hazlet lived up to its name recently, after a frantic mother carried her six year old daughter into the facility for difficulty breathing. “She was on the verge of going into anaphylactic shock, wheezing, had difficulty breathing and had broken out in a rash,” said Stacie Stopen, nurse practitioner.  “We immediately administered oxygen, gave her an injection of steroid and started her on a breathing treatment of a bronchodilator.  She was smiling and breathing normally within the hour.”

The problem started when a classmate offered the little girl a bite of her sandwich that contained a luncheon meat with peanuts, to which she was allergic.  That resulted in an almost immediate difficulty in breathing.   Her teacher quickly contacted the school nurse who, in turn, called her parents.  The mother took the little girl home and soon discovered that the child was progressing to hives even after an Epipen injection and some Benadryl, it still wasn’t helping.  So they drove to Immediate Care Medical Walk-in of Hazlet where they were treated immediately.

“That’s why we’re here,” says Dr. Lisa Golding-Granado, medical director of the facility.  “Our staff is trained for virtually any crisis.  And there’s, typically, little or no wait.”
