Nut allergy often doesn't appear on first exposure but rather on second or subsequent contact. Having no reaction the first time doesn't mean there's no allergy.
Allergy symptoms typically appear within 2 hours of eating nuts:
Mild to moderate (most common):
- Redness, swelling, or hives around the mouth, lips, or cheeks
- Runny nose, sneezing
- Stomach pain, vomiting
Severe/emergency symptoms (anaphylaxis):
- Difficulty breathing, wheezing
- Swelling of lips, tongue, or throat
- Paleness, bluish skin color
- Signs of shock, sudden weakness
If you see any of the above within 2 hours, go to the nearest emergency room immediately. Even without symptoms, always tell your pediatrician the same day that you've introduced nuts.
