That’s frustrating, toledo. The throat swelling is worrisome. Does it happen every time you eat almonds or those fruits? Is it more likely to happen during the spring or fall, when the tree pollen or ragweed is in the air?

You might try having the prick tests repeated in a year.

Food allergies in children are often outgrown (except for peanut and nut allergies, which are very unlikely to be outgrown). But environmental allergies (pollen, dust, ragweed) tend to get worse as we get older.
