Could after a month of congestion be viral cold or pet allergies 6 month old baby?

Question

My 6 month baby boy has had nasal congestion for over a month. Been to the doc on three separte times. They say that it just signus dripage and not a thing that they can do. He eats fine, happy , no sneezing , no fever. They said that it might be allergies and nothing they can do until he is a year old. I just can see letting be like this for another 6 months. We do have a dog and 3 cats. This is the first time since he been home with the congestion .Has anyone else experiance this with their child???

Thanks so much

Answer 1

Have you started solids?

BTW 6 months old isn't too young for allergy testing (done through blood testing). It isn't as accurate BUT it might provide you a place to start.

Answer 2

First wager may well be puppy hypersensitivity yet you will no longer be attentive to until at last you progression them exterior and thoroughly clean the abode - or try keeping apart one room to work out if that's the project. deep clean the toddler room and shop him in there all day - as quickly as he's faraway from the allergen the congestion could clean up in approximately 24 hours.

Answer 3

It is possible that it's pet allergies... but don't eliminate the possiblility of food allergies. At 6 months you have probably introduced him to some foods, try a process of elimination with that first.

Good Luck!!

Answer 4

Remove the pets and clean real good and see if you can tell a change in your baby. Why would you prefer the animals over your child's happiness?
