My 15mo was diagnosed in allergy clinic at 9m with egg, nut, and peanut allergies after reactions to milk and eggs. The milk skin prick was OK (blood test positive) but I was told to reintroduce dairy.
On two occasions recently she has started coughing while eating, and kind of gagging and sticking finger in her mouth, I've panicked and thought she was having a reaction (egg reaction was coughing, then gasping and a nettle rash all over).
Both occasions were relatively short and I'm unsure if they were reactions or if she had something stuck! I gave Piriton anyway. First time she had eaten a bite of a chicken strip which had egg binding in the breadcrumb. Today she had eaten part of a supermarket bakery multi grain bagel. So neither totally safe foods... But she has also wolfed down Quorn before before we realised it contained egg, no adverse reaction..
Am I being neurotic??
