Could There Be Delayed Reaction For Peanut Allergy?

My son has a peanut allergy. My husband bought him a soft serve ice cream this evening with sprinkles. I licked it and there was a peanut in my lick. The ice cream was mostly gone at that point. he did not have a reaction, but I gave him benadryl and he has been fine. If there wasn't an initial reaction, could he still have a delayed reaction? We had a situation last summer where we had an initial reaction and then a full anaphylactic reaction three hours later because we were outside playing.

Hi, u have not asked question very clearly but still I would suggest that any anaphylactic reaction can be immediate, late or delayed to hours so there might be chance of them, but u should mention what kind of symptoms he suffers at the time of anaphylaxis. U can consult doctor for the same rather then taking self medication.
