Eliana just found a peanut that her brothers dropped yesterday and she had it all chewed up in her mouth... if she was allergic would she have a reaction right away?

If she has a severe allergic reaction. You would notice right away. You would have needed to call 911. I have a little cousin who’s throat closes up without even having to digest any peanut butter 😖
If she has a mild one, rashes around her mouth. or it could also spread. With my nephew his mouth gets itchy, and then you will see noticeable rashes. Usually benedryl does the trick. Thankfully we have not had to use an epi pen on him.

Sometimes. I have a nut allergy. My daughter doesn’t seem to. But either way, water is always a good idea. A lot of the reaction from nuts causes dry itchy throat which can cause the irritation that leads to the swelling. I find that when I drink water with nuts, I have a less severe reaction. And yes I eat nuts even though I’m allergic.

@rndmshtt, she seems to be fine! No swelling and no rash as of now and it’s been about 15 mins since she ate it

@mommy_x3, awesome! They also say you can introduce nuts before 1 now if you want. I waited til 1 just in case because I have food allergies myself. But I’m sure everything will be just fine!!

It's actually better to introduce them to foods that can cause allergies at a younger age because their immune systems are less likely to have a reaction.
