My 11mos old just broke out in bumps-- I thought they were tiny bug bites, maybe from an ant. I undressed him and watched as more bumps emerged where there is clearly no bug biting him. They were on his arms, fingers, cheeks, neck, chest...
Then I realized that at breakfast about 15 min earlier he had grabbed his big sisters smoothie cup and put his hands in it and got some in his mouth. That smoothie had strawberry and mango fruit, rice milk, whey protein, honey, and peanut butter. For about 30 min. bumps broke out and then turned red and puffy and then faded away. Now he is mostly clear of them. He is playing fine and breathing fine. But I guess I have to act as if this is a peanut allergy. Peanuts, mango, and honey are the foods in that drink he had never had until now.
I already placed a call to his doctor...just wondering if anybody else has had this happen with your child and what it turned out to be. Did your Dr. order more allergy tests cause I hope we don't have to but of course we'll do what we need to.
