I'm assuming he had an allergic reaction to the scrambled egg he had for breakfast but he's had egg about 4 times before in the past week or so and had no reaction to it. Is this usual? Is it wise to avoid egg altogether from now on including products with egg in them? It was at 7am at breakfast in the hotel (we were visiting legoland) and a few mintues after eating scrambled egg he started getting hives around his mouth. He also had some sausage but I'm assuming in wasn't that. We're BLW by the way. The hives spread to his cheek and above his eys (I think where he rubbed the egg into his face) and by the time we were back at the hotel room his lips started to swell.
I gave him a breastfeed and watched him but although I was worried he seemed fine and had no trouble breathing. About an hour later all the hives had gone and he was completely fine.
Any advice and do I need to take him to the drs?
