Is my wifes breast milk hard on my boys throat hes coughing lot.hes been sick for two days now .he tries to cry but really cant, hes 4.5 months

Not likely: If your child has been nursing with out a problem for the last 4.5 months it is unlikely the breast milk is to blame. It sounds like he might have an infection with the symptoms you describe. I would have him seen by his dr. Asap.
