Hi there, We have been giving our DD egg since he was 5 months on the advice of our allergy consultant at St Mary's - our DD's consultant, baby has shown no sign of allergy or intolerance until today.
I gave DS scrambled egg today and shortly afterwards he developed blotchy red skin, itchy eyes and was very sick so it seems pretty conclusive that despite being ok with egg before he isn't now.
What do we do now? Do we avoid egg altogether or try a small amount of baked or egg? Do I need to take him to the GP for allergy tests?
We discovered DD's allergies around the same age but she had such a serious reaction (ambulance to hospital after having formula for the first time) that we were under a consultant straight away. I don't know what to do as DS has reacted but not so seriously.
Does he need tests to get an allergy care plan? He was fine with baked egg, is it ok to try him on that again or do I avoid egg completely?
I's be really grateful for any advice!
