My DS is 20 months and has multiple food allergies - eggs, milk, beans, lentils and peas. So far he has been ok will all types of fruit - and he does love his fruit! Nursey gave him melon today and he had a rash around his mouth and hives on his neck. DS has had melon many times at home and nusery in the past. DS has his food served first at Nursey and today the melon was the only food in the room when he reacted. They gave him his piriton and he was ok. Then in the afternoon he got a blotchy rash on his face but no hives. There was no food around at the time and nothing obvious to cause the reaction.
My question really is could it be possible his system was still reacting to the melon even though it was approx 3 hours later or is it more likely he is allergic to something none food - he has only been allergic to food so far. Sorry to waffle on I don't know if I am clutching at straws really! I thought we were turning a corner as we suspected a soya allergy but thankfully he is ok.
