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
Dawn

    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?

    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.

    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!!

    i agree with tenn gal - try getting rid of the pets and see if he gets better but i agree he shouldnt have to suffer another 6 months - good luck and i hope he feels better soon
