I have experienced the headaches over the past two years. There is no rash or itch associated with the headache. Sometimes, I can eat a quarter of a boiled egg in a salad and experience no headache, but otherwise I do get a headache after consuming eggs. No one in my related family has this problem. No other illness and I do not take any medication other than a multiple vitamin occasionally. Peanuts cause a very debilitating headache.

Hello
Thank you for getting back with the answers. There is high probability that you are allergic to both peanuts & eggs.I would suggest you to stop taking them for a while and take following measures:
> cetirizine one at night for 5 days.
> Montelukast one daily for one month. Research has shown that it decreases the allergic symptoms considerably.
After completing the above medicine, take small quantity of egg or peanut and observe for if there is any improvement or not. If problem persists then I would suggest you to undergo allergy testing at allergy clinic as you have chronic allergy problem. It will tell that you are allergic to what specific thing. The results will help an allergist to prescribe you immunotherapy to that specific allergen and it will improve the problem.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
