With this type of reaction I'd recommend you seek professional help, visit your ped and request screening for food allergies.



One could not diagnosis on Yahoo answers and with this type of reaction one should be concerned, it may be necessary and recommended that you carry an Epi Pen.



But first and foremost one should determine what exactly caused the reaction so the substance can be avoided, could it be the hamburger, the bun, the seasoning?



This may have nothing to do with the fact that she has pdd-nos.Is a PDD-NOS patient susceptible to allergy? What food or diet must she avoid?
If the hamburger was complete with bun you may want to look into removing the gluten (anything with wheat, barley, rye, malt). For kids with PDD-NOS (and any of the ASDs) a lot of luck has been had with gluten free diets and even one step further with removing the casein (mostly found in dairy) as well. With my son we saw huge improvements just by eliminating the gluten but some need that extra step.



It does NOT work for everyone in the same way, though, so if you try it and see no changes after a few weeks there's no real reason to keep going with it. My son was showing big differences within a couple of days.
