4 Month Old Has Lots Of Mucus. Milk Allergy Maybe? Help.?
Posted by: Alan in Milk Allergies, tags: Allergy, Help, Lots, Maybe, Milk, Month, Mucus.
so my sweet little 4 month old daughter has what seems to have been a cold for about 5 weeks now. at the beginning, she started off sneezing and coughing which then turned into a very congested nose. i used an aspirator several times which she really loved. (not.) then we started using a vaporizer and the mucus has gone away a lot. but it’s still there and is taking forever to completely go away. it gets worse when the evaporator runs out of water. ENT doctor said he didn’t see anything wrong but did say he say more mucus than he normally does. he had no other suggestions. could she be allergic to milk? she drinks organic formula. thoughts appreciated.

First of all, Laura F, is that really necessary! People come on here to get advice and if you can contribute something useful it would be best not to say anything. What a rude thing to say.
To now answer the question, I don’t think it is a milk allergy. That would cause more symtoms such as upset tummy, excess spitting up, gas, diarrea, ect. It could be a cold that is lasting a long time or she is recatching it. I would think that maybe she has allergies. I would elimintate all allergines if she is exposed. This includes smoke, dust, pet dander, ect. Also they make air purifiers to help eliminate allergines. That might be worth a try. If it continues I would talk to the doctor again and if he/she won’t help, find another. I hope this is helpful and works for you. I know the worry that goes with new babies!
