sound like an allergy?

For us, it is hard to tell with Carson if he ate something he shouldn’t or if he has a cold. He really gets cold symptoms for both. When I gave him the 2 girl scout cookies with whey, he got a runny nose, congested at night, (no barky seal cough, though) and ears would drain a lot (he has tubes). It is so hard to tell.

I suppose you could take him off the dairy and see if it clears up – then try again in a week or two. ??

Ragweed is bad during the late spring/summer seasons. Maybe have him skin prick tested? Well, I would take him off and then try again. But, if his nights aren’t bad and he isn’t acting naughty – then I would say if he isn’t tolerating dairy yet, it will be soon.
