CASE
A 24-year-old Asian male presents to the clinic with complaints of oral pruritus, facial flushing, and nausea intermittently after meals. He has a history of childhood eczema and had a severe anaphylactic reaction to peanut butter at age 4 years. His mother reported that he experienced shortness of breath, facial swelling, and flushing several minutes after eating the peanut butter. After a complete history and physical examination and a laboratory investigation, peanut allergy was diagnosed. The patient now avoids all peanut products but still reports episodes of worsening symptoms when eating certain foods. How should this patient be managed?
