I think my son may be allergic to tomatoes. he has d had a burning tongue and lips since eating a pizza 2 days ago. could this be the case?

Dr. John Chiu answered

Possible: Even though allergic reaction to food (aside from swelling) does not usually last for more than a few hours, I recommend that tomato be avoided until cleared by an allergist. Do note that there are other ingredients in pizza aside from tomato.
