Food allergies are one of the reasons I have DD at home with me. She has severe reactions to a bunch of foods. Here's my take:
First of all, I would want the child to be seen by a board certified pediatric allergist. Even an ENT isn't knowledgeable enough imo.

Second, you need some meds with instructions from allergist. When DD has a mild reaction, we give her Zyrtec, but Benedryl is the most common.

An allergist can tell the parent if the child should be carrying an epipen.

And btw, the tests aren't 100% accurate. By themselves the skin prick test or the blood test are about 50% accurate. Combined, they are about 70% accurate. The child's reactions are the most accurate way to tell if a child has a food allergy
