What Causes Numbness Of Legs And Feeling Cold With History Of Food Allergy?

My 9yr old says her legs are numb at if feels like she has goosebumps but she is not cold... She has had food allergies before that caused a rash and swelling we never found out the cause. she says she didn t eat anything new at school, her clothes or shoes are not to tight. I don t want to rush her to urgent care if it can be fixed with benadryl. Any ideas

Hi...By what you quote it seems rather like a skin allergy which is unlikely to be food allergy. Food allergy apart from skin manifestations might have some sort of gastrointestinal manifestations like vomiting or diarrhoea or pain in the tummy.
