Okay, well I suppose in a way that make sense. I know when my son had a bad reaction to peanut butter last week, just contact on his skin, they said as long as it doesn't affect the breathing that I do not have to use the epi-pen, which he has for his other food allergy. They, the head of the allergy department at the IWK, said that in this case I'd only need to use Benedryl, and watch to make sure the breathing was fine, which it was. However I think if he actually ate the peanut butter he probably would need the epi-pen...
Probably in your case they figured she didn't need an epi-pen, as that is meant for when they go in anaphalactic shock and cannot breath. Does your doctor think that perhaps later she can get tested? I know some doctors just like to avoid the testing, as it can be not that accurate in young ages, and figured the best advice was to avoid the eggs in the mean time?
I ask that because basically that's what they told me to do a year ago when it came to testing nuts. At the time I didn't know if he was allergic to nuts, but they said they weren't going to test for it and just to avoid it completely and we'd discuss it when he turned 4.
Still, I'm sure you'd feel better with her seeing a Ped, which completely makes sense to me, so you know what the future holds for you in dealing with this.
Regarding her sad sleep situation, I was thinking perhaps posting this in the "Getting Back On Track" in our Sleep forum? I'm not sure how to handle that situation, but I think it would fit perfectly there, and perhaps moms with similar experience can offer some advice?
