<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.My 3 12 year old girl gets pins and needles in her feet. Gotten nearly every day for past week I reckon. She also has some sort of allergy to chocolate or coco as she gets a constant runny nose if she eats a lot of coco based things. Not confirmed yet but awaiting app with peads doctor. Controlling this myself. Could it be related? Is pins and needles normal for growing child  <response>: Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. Many chocolates are rich in a substance called histamine which causes immediate running nose after taking them. However, this does not mean she has allergy to chocolates, she can consume them in a limited amount. Pins and needles are not considered normal for a growing child nor are they clearly related to chocolate consumption. Sometimes vitamin deficiencies may be causing them. So it will be best for you to consult a pediatrician for pins and needles. Hope this will be helpful to you. Wish your daughter the best of the health. Regards.
