| 0:00.0 | My kid has had a mac and insulin before and there weren't any issues and then they end |
| 0:05.8 | off on it again for an ear infection and then usually within 10, 15, 30 minutes you'll |
| 0:12.4 | start to notice that they develop some symptoms like itching all over or welts or hives, they'll |
| 0:19.9 | start to have some coughing or trouble breathing or they'll have repetitive vomiting or belly |

| 0:31.4 | that medication that kind of cruises into, hey, this probably is a drug reaction. |
| 0:36.1 | Hey everyone, welcome back to the show. I continue to get to talk to the most amazing |
