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.

KiRa [710]

Answer:

Maximum temperature was 40 Celsius at daytime while temperature at night was 31 Celsius.

There is a lot of fluctuation in temperature at daytime due to increasing and lowering the intensity of light.
