Peanut allergy isa reaction whichoccurs soon afterexposure topeanuts orpeanut products. Itisdue toIgE allergy antibodies against peanut proteins.
Themajority ofallergic reactions topeanut aremild andconsist ofhives around themouth wherepeanut hastouched theskin,ormore generalised hives onotherpartsofthebody. Another common symptom isabdominal pain andvomiting whichoccurs soon aftereating a peanut product. More sensitive children candevelop coughing,wheezing,difficulty breathing orhoarseness ofthevoice due toanallergic reaction occurring intheairway. Inthemostsevere cases collapse andloss ofconsciousness canoccur. Very rarely,very sensitive individuals havedied fromthesevere allergic reaction known asanaphylaxis.
A nut allergy isone ofthemostdangerousallergies a child canhave. Wehavea 6 yr oldwithanair borne nut allergy. Talk toyoudoctor andaskhimtosend himtoamallergist tobetested. I amproviding a few links onnut allergies. Ifhedoeshavea nut allergy remove allnut products fromthehouse tohelpprevent contamination tootherfoods. Ifyouwant youcanemail meandi willsend youthesafe andunsafe snack list thati send toschool everyyear becausereading alltheingredients canbea pain. Goodluck.
Youarerightintheexposure each time gets worse whenitisa nut allergy. Mydaughter isallergic toWalnuts. Another thing isthatsomefoods areprocessed inthesame plants aspeanuts soyouhavetobecareful giving himanything theretoo. Onlygive himsafe foods thatyouabsolutely know aren’t madearound peanuts. Heneeds tobeseen byanallergist asap. Youinsist onit. Thiscouldmean yourchild’s life ifheisindeed allergic andyoudon’t getittaken care of. Youwillprobably havetocarry anepi pen ifitisa truepeanut allergy. Theywillprobably goahead andtest himforotherallergies atthesame time. Itisnota fun test,buta very crucial test forhim. I hope youfind out whatitis,butsure sounds likepeanut allergy tomewithhimgetting sick thatquick. Mydaughter isallergic tocats,mold,grass,walnuts,lactose Intolerant,allmilk products,chemicals incleaning products,tap water,andhasfood intolernaces soI understand howfrustrating thiscanbe. Hang inthere. First gethimtested thengofromthereontheinformation youget. I carry a card around toputonfamily’s refrigerators whentheywatch mydaughter. I always tellthem,“Donotfeed thechild”. I provide allfood andwater forher. Best ofluck andI hope yourlittleguy feels better.
