My son has this constant dry cough and sneeze as well as itchy, watery eyes. I wonder if he is allergic to our cats (my husband is mildly allergic to them and also has asthma). I remember when my DS was just about a week old I asked the doctor if he could be allergic to the family cats and she said that babies can't physically be allergic to cats/dogs at that young age. I'm wondering when that changes and when an allergy like this develops?
My son's dog allergy started showing up when he was about 2 months old. He broke out in a rash from head to toe when exposed to my parent's dog. My pediatrician said basically the same thing as yours, but I didn't believe her and took my son to a highly recommended allergist. He confirmed that it was a dog allergy, and gave us medications to prevent the rashes when we were visiting family. Answers from Dr. Greene::
Is there anything I can do to prevent his developing allergies? Other studies have shown that babies who are exposed to dogs and cats before the first birthday, for example, are far less likely to develop allergies later.
