Because you said it was redish purple colored it sounds more like a spider bite. Whatever it was I am glad she's going to be OK. I carry a shot kit in case I get stung. Maybe you could ask the doctor to prescribe her one since she is having such a reaction.
Same with me Sandy. When I get stung, the area swells up and continues to swell well beyond the area and I get the same reaction that you describe. Anaphylactic shock is a huge concern.

I carry an epi pen with me too so I can get something in my system long enough to get me to the hospital.
