Food Allergies Treatment

Question by madmom: a friend had a possible allergic reaction to shellfish, she woke up next morning with rash swollen face & lips
this happened same way once before next morning after eating shellfish but reaction not as severe as this morning. Is it normal to have a reaction like this several hours after eating something like shellfish and is it possible to be tested for this allergy?

Answer by Paramedic Girl
It most certainly sounds like an allergy to shell fish, which is common.

First off, she needs to stop eating it. Secondly, for possible allergic reactions one should take a Benadryl immediately.

Her doctor can refer her to an Allergist for testing.

as long as his breathing is ok, no worry. He should not be given ANY kind of peanuts till he is 3yo, and I would get him checked out at the doctors before giving him any more at all.
Peanuts is a very common allergy, but cinnamon is possible too.
Does he have a fever at all? and has he had chickenpox yet?

Question by aedriahughes2: Could blue lips and nail beds be a symptom of peanut allergy?
Yesterday, my perfectly normal 3 year old had some peanut butter and crackers and juice for a snack. She has only had peanut butter a couple of times before and not very much. When she finished eating her lips and nail beds were blue and her hands and feet were very cold but she had no other symptoms. The symptoms cleared after an albuterol nebulizer treatment, but she was not having any symptoms of asthma, just symptoms of low oxygen. Could these symptoms have been caused by a peanut allergy?

They sound more like symptoms of a heart condition. It would be a good idea to give your pediatrician a call and explain the situation to him/her.
