Allergic reaction to macadamia nuts?!
Question: Allergic reaction to macadamia nuts.?
I've been feeling a lot of sinus pressure all of a sudden. My forehead was itchy and I looked and saw that I had three giant swollen welts around my eyes and forehead. I had two strange foods tonight- goat cheese and a macadamia nut, but this happened about a half hour or more later. I'm worried I have a nut allergy. I'm already allergic to soy and sesame seeds. I took 2 benadryl and the swelling went down on my face, but I'm worried. Any ideas.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
It probably was the macadamia nuts. You should see an allergist and have skin testing done to make sure, because next time the reaction could be worse. Good luck!!Health Question & Answer
