Anaphalactic reactions can develop over as many as 12 hours. My son has a severe allergy to sesame, and it has in every time taken anywhere between 6-12 hours to develop.
First he starts to cough, then vomit, and slowly his breathing gets so bad that the albuterol stops working. And even the steroids do not help much. then we call hatzalah.
Most allergic reactions are not instantaneous. If you know that a child has ingested aomething they should not have, you give benadryl immediately. If you have a nebulizer, use it. If you keep oral steroids on hand, give that too. Hopefully you can avoid a full blown anaphalactic reaction. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
