I have DS1 (age nearly 6) and DS2 (age 4) who both have nut allergies. I am feeling anxious this evening as DS2 went to a party and seems to have accidentally eaten something peanutty and was sick a couple of times and had a rash. No other ill effects.
He has had reactions 3 times before ? once as a baby when he got a rash when I touched his face with some nut dust on my hands (thus leading to first suspicion of nut allergy), then once about 18 mths ago when he ate a pizza and was sick and had a rash (still not sure what was on that!) and then a few months ago at pre-school when he got a rash from touching some bird feed that had peanut dust in it.
So now I am wondering has anyone had a child with a nut allergy of this kind of level of severity (so far he has never had any breathing problems, swelling etc) that just stayed at this level? I am just worrying about all those things I read that it gets worse every time. I fully understand that it might get worse in future but I am just hoping it might not be inevitable!
(I am just going to go off and eat now so won?t answer straightaway but I am hoping some people will have some experiences they can tell me about).
