?cow's milk: Cow's milk was invented for cows to give to their babies like you produced milk for yours. I can never understand why it has become a staple in diet of kids.

Either one: Certainly 3 year olds can have allergic rhinitis or viral infections especially if they attend daycare. If the symptoms respond to antihistamines, that may suggest an allergy. However, the best way to find the answer is to consult an allergist. Skin testing at this age is quick and easy and you will not have to keep guessing.
