Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain she represented with allergic symptoms immediately after eating cashews which she is allergic and the symptoms of closing or choking the throat and wheezing etc are due to it..
In case if the symptoms have improved after taking benadryl and steroid inhalations via inhaler and she is not having breathlessness then it is fine and you can continue the same for a day or two for complete resolution of symptoms..

But in case if feeling of closing up of throat is still persistent then you should immediately rush to emergency room as choking of throat can cause difficulty in breathing and canbe fatal..

So better keep a watch on her symptoms and take necessary steps in case if you find uncomfortable..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards,
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
