Have the test done, its the safest way. My neice had a hair test done because she reacted so badly to dairy and we found out she had quite a few allergies, not just dairy. The information you get from being tested is priceless

I’d put a small amount on their arm and watch for a reaction. If you’re that concerned you could drive to a hospital and do it in the car park. People often outgrow these allergies but of course you should get them to see a professional if you want to know for sure

Absolutely have it managed professionally

I would definitely look into getting testing done

I’m getting my nine month old tested. She broke into hives when I touched her after eating cashews.

I would seek medical advice on this. It is life threatening and doctors can check without the risk.

Yes I would I did and it was positive

Not a bad idea, so many young children now have peanut allergies.

You can try putting a bit of peanut butter on her leg. Then wipe off and see if any reaction. That’s what I did with my little one

This is such a potentially serious problem that I’d get advice from a doctor.

A discussion with your GP might also be a good starting point?

Professional testing and allergy management protocols are needed if there is an allergy. If in any doubt or concerned it might be a good idea to get testing done.

As there is a possible history – I would say a definite ‘yes’. It will reassure both you and them having this information 🙂

If you’re concerned then yes. Or try it when you are at the gp for peace of mind

Yes I would take them to see what allergies if any they have so it gives you peace of mind.

I think it might be a good idea to have your kids tested for peace of mind.

You need a proper allergy test to know if they are truly allergic or not. They may need an Epipen?

if they reacted that bad a while ago, I would seriously consider getting them tested. It’ll be safer in the long run

If your child does have a possible nut allergy they will need a blood test.

I think it would be good to do tests as when they go to school it would be communicate nuts should be avoided by peers as well and have the gp/specialist write a management plan.
