Ds1 (5) had a banana and walnut muffin yesterday - within a minute of it he had a purple spreading rash on his neck, swollen lips and was clutching at his throat saying it was really sore. So....I just went straight to A&E as it was evening and no dr's surgeries open.
Anyway, thankfully, the reaction calmed down - I was told it was a moderate to mild reaction and he should avoid nuts. He is being referred to an allergy clinic.
After the age of 2 we haven't "actively" avoided nuts and I'm just wondering if he will grow out of this sensitivity and might it just be walnuts? I'm sure he's had stuff with peanuts in before.

So once your child has had a reaction to nuts, do you have to totally stay clear of them?
