[quote=Anonymous]I think OP reacted appropriately as reactions can be biphasic (peaks, goes away, then comes back) and it's not like she knew whether or not it would get worse and her DD's breathing would become affected. A bad batch of strawberries isn't going to cause lip swelling... It's not too early to do allergy testing, but even if she tests negative, the gold standard is whether or not she has a reaction when she eats the food in question (in office food challenge). Unfortunately, just because she's eaten something before and been fine doesn't mean it won't later cause a reaction. Reactions can get worse over time and with repeated exposure, so I would definitely stay away from strawberries for awhile and consult with an allergist. [/quote]
