Brief Answer:
yes,possibility of egg protein allergy is more.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your daughter's situation and problem.
Eggs are rich in protein.And proteins are most allergic substance.
So possibility of egg protein allergy is more in her case.
Allergy can cause engioedema. This causes throat blockage ans feeling of closing up of throat.
She will need antihistamines and anti allergic drugs when such episode occur.
Best thing is to avoid eggs and it's products.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wishing good health to your daughter.
Thanks.
