Can peanut allergy cause wheezing asthma symptoms anaphylaxis?

Question

My son has a severe peanut allergy, and he recently had a reaction after accidentally eating something with peanuts. He started wheezing and struggling to breathe. Can a peanut allergy lead to such severe asthma-like symptoms or even anaphylaxis?

Haan behan, mungfali ki allergy bahut khatarnak ho sakti hai. Isse saans phoolne lagti hai aur dam ghutne jaisa lagta hai. Agar aisa kuch bhi ho toh bina deri kiye turant bade doctor ke paas hospital bhaago, bilkul der mat karna.

I have to be very careful with my health due to PCOS, so I always research allergies too. Yes, peanut allergy is known to trigger severe wheezing and even life-threatening anaphylaxis. Please keep an EpiPen or emergency meds ready and consult an allergist.

Yes, peanut allergy is very serious and can cause sudden breathing trouble. The most practical thing is to strictly read food labels behind packed snacks and inform relatives beforehand at family functions. If any wheezing starts, go straight to the nearest hospital emergency.

I didn't know a simple food like peanuts could cause such severe breathing problems. Does this mean even a tiny trace of peanut in cookies can trigger asthma symptoms? I am really scared for my younger cousin who was just diagnosed.
