AB  - <p>A 6-year-old female in good health presented with no known drug allergies for dental treatment under general anesthesia. Following the preoperative evaluation, the patient received intramuscular premedication consisting of midazolam (1 mg) and Ketamine (60 mg) into the left deltoid muscle. During patient transfer, anesthesia personnel detected a hive developing in proximity to the patient's right ear lobe.
