Specializes in Pediatrics

Other reasons: Are you sure milk is the cause if your childs chronically running nose. There may be other things in the house that may be the problem such as a smoker, animal, flowers, dust or molds. Money wel spent might be having your child be seen by an allergist for evaluation.
