Food allergies
Normally food allergy symptoms appear within a few minutes of eating the offending food, although they may be delayed by up to a couple of hours. The symptoms are usually those of ‘classic’ allergy, some of which are listed below:
Gut reactions: Abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhoea
Skin reactions: Itching and swelling (rash or nettle rash)
Respiratory reactions: Runny nose, sneezing, wheeze, cough

Sore throat
Advice for parents/carers:
Sore throats are extremely common, and are often associated with a high temperature.
Most sore throats are caused by viral infections – if this is the case, your child is likely to also have a runny nose, cough or earache
If a number of people are unwell in the same household, this also suggests a viral infection (because viral infections are easily spread)
Viral infections tend to get better on their own and do not need treatment with antibiotics. Antibiotics may actually cause side effects such as rash and diarrhoea and can increase the risk of them developing antibiotic resistance
