What is the question: If your son has peanut allergy, you already washed whatever he was exposed to, if he didn't have symptoms, fine, I doubt he would, at any rate a dose of an antihistamine would help and observe for any other symptom. I trust you have other precautions, as an epipen (epinephrine) handy, if he is truly allergic, good luck
