The correct answer is rapid onset of respiratory distress.
When a person is exposed to a substance to which he/she is allergic, the immune system reacts by releasing specific chemicals. This constitutes an anaphylactic shock. Symptoms of an anaphylactic shock include rapid onset of hypertension, of neurologic compensation and of cardiac arrest. In this case, the grandson is not breathing, therefore this consists a rapid onset of respiratory distress.
