Considering the child's age and symptoms, it appears that this is an allergic reaction. It can be inferred that among the options, the food most likely to trigger these symptoms is peanut butter.

Peanut butter, in addition to having added sugar, hydrogenated or semi-hydrogenated fats, sodium and other additives, has proteins that our bodies recognize as "foreign" causing our immune system to react.

Peanut allergy is usually discovered in the early years of life, due to its high consumption in childhood, and especially affects babies and children who have asthma, rhinitis and sinus problems.

Six fingered offspring are formed from normal parents, why?
Kruka [31]
Dominant' traits will actually disappear faster if they are disadvantageous.

Think about it: if everyone who has even a single copy of a particular allele is at a disadvantage (manifests the phenotype, in this case six fingers), then even single copies are selected against.

In the case of recessive traits, selection occurs only against homozygous carriers, who may be very rare if the allele itself is rare.

A concrete example would be something like Tay-Sachs disease. If the allele that causes this were dominant, every carrier would die before adulthood, and it would occur only as a very rare de novo mutation. But because it is recessive, it persists for now; heterozygous carriers have no disadvantage.
