Hello.

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your son's history and would like to make suggestions for him as follows:

1. If he is otherwise not reacting to peanut butter, I would think of reaction to strawberry or coloring agents/preservatives used in them.

2. For treatment, I would suggest him an antihistamine such as cetirizine or levocetirizine and application of a lotion such as calamine.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.

Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish him the best of the health.

Thank you & Regards.
