my daughter is now 11 weeks old and has had a cold for over 9 weeks ( runny nose, then blocked nose, cough,flemmy chest & sneezing) she is fed on sma baby milk. could she have an allergic reaction to cows milk and this is causing the problem as i read a babys cold would last no more then 2 weeks
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor The milk she is using is not cows milk, babies are not allowed cows milk till they are at least 1-year-old. Milk allergy may present in different forms normally with a rash on the skin, stomach upset with vomiting, loose stools or in some cases' constipation. The symptoms that you described are in keeping with a cold but because she does not have a good immune system as yet, it would take a while for her to fight it off. You may want to consider taking her for assessment. I hope this helps
