hi,
yes these symptoms may be due to allergy to some component of the food, as there is family history of atopy so there is maximum possibilities of these. these symptoms are also seen in niacin deficiensy but here these are most likely related to allergy. these can be due to henoch shonlein purpura .to diagnose the disease properly yo should go for total and differential count of WBC, platelets count, ESR, serum IgA level, C reactive protein , prothrombin time and bleeding time and also stool examination for occult blood.
then you should meet a child specialist for its correlation , diagnosis and proper management.
