It depends on what type of allergic reaction it is. If it is anaphylaxis, that is an emergency and she would receive epinephrine via an epipen. If she needs allergy testing and medication, an allergist or pediatric allergist would be the appropriate doctor for her to see.
I always suggest starting with your pediatrician first. Seeing an allergist may be needed, but often it's not.
