Allergy fields in Kiri and why each field matters

  • Suspected allergen(s): records likely exposure sources (food, medication, latex, insect sting, and more).

  • Exposure type (Taste/Full Serving/Touch/Airborne): helps estimate dose/exposure intensity and context.

  • Onset (minutes): timing from exposure to symptoms can be clinically important for interpretation.

  • Symptom severity (0-4): standardized severity marker for trend comparisons.

  • Symptoms: details what occurred (for example hives, rash, itchy/watery eyes, congestion).

  • Triggers: captures contributing context that may worsen or mimic reactions.

  • Outcome (Resolved Home/Called Doctor/Urgent Care-ER/EMS Called): documents event seriousness and care level.

  • Medication + dose + unit: ties interventions to outcomes for safer ongoing planning.

How to log allergy events well

  1. Start with suspected allergen and exposure type.

  2. Add onset minutes as accurately as possible.

  3. Record symptom severity and outcome before closing the entry.

  4. Include medication details if anything was given.

Emergency reminder

For severe reactions or breathing concerns, use emergency care immediately. Help Center content is educational and does not replace emergency guidance.
