Is My 4 Year Old All Of A Sudden Allergic To Our Pets?

396545383 Last night my 4 year old son kept waking up with watery eyes. All day today he has had watery eyes and a sniffling nose. He has only sneezed once. We've had our cats and dogs for 3 years now. Is he allergic to them now or could something else be bugging him? He's never had a problem before. I didn't know allergies were present during December.
The only thing he had different was the type of milk. I usually buy the red cap, but bought the pink cap instead. I don't think that would cause anything. He doesn't have a rash of any sort, just the really watery eyes and stuffy nose

  1. Arianna - Considering your situation, iot is very unlikely he is allergic to the actual pets
    try thinking what you bought, who moved in, what has changed. things like that. It could be anything. did you buy something new just before this started? retrace your steps and you will find the source!

  2. BeBrave - I'm not a doctor. It's possible he has a cold or maybe he really does have allergies. It could be something he ate- really anything.
    Take him to the doctor and ask for allergy testing.

    If he is allergic to your pets, DO NOT GIVE YOUR PETS AWAY.

    You can ask your doctor to give you allergy drops which help builds up his immunity to the pets.
