To think this looks like a peanut allergy?

[AlwaysSkint]

I gave my 10 month old peanut butter on toast - she's not had a reaction before to peanut butter..

@Skyechasemarshalontheway I will be following doctors orders . I don't think for a moment if it was severe he would have said it, I'd have got an appointment - it took him less than an hour to call me back so it's not like he'd have fobbed me off.

I did see about ige/non ige allergies on the NHS website. In this case it was immediate so I believe if it's an allergy (don't think it is) it would be ige? I saw that ige is taken more seriously where as non ige is reintroduction to the food?

If she had symptoms of anaphylactic shock I wouldn't have waited for the doctor to call back, I'd have taken her to a&e.

Could be anything

DS has an allergy to eggs. He ate them several times before he had a reaction, so they don’t always react the first time they eat something.

Please take your baby to the GP and avoid nuts in the meantime

My friends boy had a peanut butter reaction. It is only the fact that their gp was at home two doors down having lunch and had epi pens to give him before the ambulance arrived that he lived. Throat closed up and he was barely breathing. They lived in a village, miles from a hospital and she didn't drive. Unless you live next door to a hospital and are a good runner I would not take the doctors advice to try him with pb again.

An allergic reaction very rarely occurs the first time a child is exposed to something - it is usually after a few times that the body reacts.
My DB is allergic to peanuts & his first reaction was a similar skin reaction, his second more severe and his mouth/tongue were swollen (thankfully he spit it out & hadn’t swallowed any).
Good advice to avoid any further exposure till she’s been checked for allergies.

Try toast and butter only and see if the roughness affects her.

It doesn't look like the reaction my dad gets,his is full on nettle rash/ hives.

Keep Piriton in the house!

@Musicalmistress I have already said, I exposed again, no reaction.

@viques I have already tried again! No reaction.

@Jojobears I have already said she has had it several times previously and have given her more, no reaction!

I wish people would actually read threads!

I don't think for a moment if it was severe he would have said it

My neighbour's boy had a terrible reaction to nuts for the first time aged 7, full on hives and went shaky and was sick. She called me in a panic as we keep epi pens in the house.

Her doctor could not have been more blasé and refused to send him for proper testing so he could carry an epi pen, she saw another doctor and he said the same, " Just avoid nuts and carry Piriton and call an ambulance if that doesn't work" We live miles from the hospital!

@AlwaysSkint. I didn’t spend time looking at the whole thread as I thought it was an urgent issue. Apologies for trying to be helpful

When you say you've tried again with no reaction you mean you've put it on her skin? That's not trying again, she needs to ingest it. And I'm not suggesting you do that now or next week or until you've Seen someone.

Oh sorry I just saw you gave it her on a spoon.

In this case it was immediate so I believe if it's an allergy (don't think it is

Whether it's peanuts or something else, whatever it is - that photo you showed is a child having an allergic reaction.

@Jojobears I appreciate you were trying to be helpful but this thread was started yesterday so it wouldn't ve urgent now surely..

@LoafofSellotape if she had full on hives, was shaky and sick I wouldn't have let thr doctor fob me off - I'd have taken her to hospital!

@WTFthatsweird that's fine, but I can't work out what, she's had peanut butter before and since that picture - no reaction. She has also had the same bread several times. So I'm not sure what it could be as she has had both foods since and no reaction 🤷‍♀️. I'm wandering if it was the rough toast and the picture is just not so clear.

@WTFthatsweird you can't actually be sure of that, as you weren't here! Photos can be deceiving too.

I've seen a child have one off reaction to some bread with rosemary in it. Rash all round the mouth. Didn't have it again.

Do keep an eye out OP. As others have said, reactions can grow and exist where they haven't existed before.

They will test babies of that age if necessary. Our DS had his reaction to egg at 6 months (ended up in A&E) and was seen by the allergy clinic for the first time at 10 months.

Scariest day of my life! Hard to tell in photos, but this was my DS initial reaction. We were just sitting there thinking "oh, that's weird!" at first.

Any doubt, call an ambulance. We made it to the hospital in the car in 9 mins, and were told we should have called for one.

@LoafofSellotape maybe a one off to kingsmill white then!

@sar302 I absolutely will , your's looks like it was a bit rough/spotty? Was that his only symptom? My little girl's looked like she'd smothered by a beard. It was her only symptom was gone in about 10mins.

Beard rash 😄

He was just blotchy initially (in that pic). Then he started to get bumpy - I guess those are the hives? By the time we got to hospital he was all swollen - eyes swollen almost shut and tongue and airway swelling.

It might not be the same at all! But the pic of her chin made me immediately think of the one we took. And we took it because it didn't seem all that serious at the time. (Otherwise obviously we wouldn't have been sitting round taking photos!) So I just wanted to share incase it helped in any way.

@sar302 thank you I really appreciate it, if it had escalated like your little boy at all I'd have been out of here like a shot and up to the hospital. It was there for 10 mins and then gone, no hives, no swelling nothing. I can't work it out 🤷‍♀️

Well, either it'll happen again, or it won't. And If it does, you know what to do, and if it doesn't then you don't have to worry! And that's all you can do in any situation 🤷‍♀️

Babies are so f-ing stressful sometimes 😂

Just keep an eye on them next time they eat the same thing.

My DS had an almost identical looking rash on his chin after eating fish at nursery. He'd eaten fish loads before. I was worried if I stopped giving him fish he would develop a full blown allergy so now we eat fish at least a few times a week. The rash hasn't been back but I still get nervous.

My son has a peanut allergy and his first reaction (at 12 months old) looked like that. With peanut allergies it's common for reactions to get worse each time they happen- perhaps last time she had peanut butter she could've reacted so mildly that you didn't notice? It's been true for my son, he's been (accidentally!) exposed maybe 4-5 times since (he's ten now) and each time the rash has gotten worse, he says it's really itchy and his tongue feels odd. Thankfully never anything worse than that.

@Divgirl2 did he still have it when he came home? My little girls went after 10mins. I will keep an eye out though.

@theSnuffster I'm not sure, but she has had it several times before and I've noticed but I have also given it to her since that photo and nothing.

I have no idea!

Make a gp appointment, with allergies first exposure can be fine, second mild and third life threatening.
