What Are The Allergic Reactions Of Seafood ( Prawns, Scallops, Salmon) On A Human?

my son ate some seafood for supper (prawns, scallops and salmon). About an hour after eating he got a thumb sized red mark with elevated white lines just at the base of his neck. He is 12 months old and has had no problems with salmon in the past. The red mark is subsiding about two hours after the meal.
Is this a sign of an shellfish allergy?
What should I be looking for in the next few hours?

Hi,
Thanks for asking query on health care magic.
Sea foods specially prawns cause allergy. They may produce urticarial rash all over the body with intense itching within a few hours.
If a person has got past history of asthma it may start a full blown picture of asthma with brocho constriction and dyspnoea.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose.
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required.
Take care
