Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Your grandson is having allergic reaction.
And you have given him correct treatment.
So no need to worry much for this. You can wait for few hours (7-8 hours).
If he is improving than no need to worry much.
But if he is worsening than consult doctor immediately.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wishing good health to your grandson.
Thanks.
