What Causes Itchy And Congested Nose In Babies?

I have a 3 month old baby and he seems to have an itchy nose. He ll keep rubbing it against things, His nose also gets congested, just in the night. Any ideas why? (He is allergic/sensitive to milk. His stools were neon green until I eliminated dairy from my diet. I also have eliminated soy, gluten, eggs, and nuts in case he had other allergies, but it hasn t affected the itching.)

Hi
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
Could be allergic rhinitis.
Continue avoiding dairy form your food.
Montelukast daily will help to decrease itching and allergy.
Use saline nasal drops to prevent drying and itching

Wishing your child speedy recovery
