My 3 1/2 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
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.
