The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Allergic cough is possible in babies but isn't a commonly seen condition. Allergic cough is usually dry, intermittent, and worsens at night or in the morning. It may also come with nasal runny nose, sneezing, eye itching/redness, or eczema as other allergy signs.

However, in babies, the most common cause of cough is viral upper respiratory tract infections (common cold, colds). Distinguishing from allergy can sometimes be difficult.

Important warning: If cough is accompanied by wheezing breath sounds, ribs pulling in while breathing, bluish lips, fever 38°C or above (especially in babies under 3 months), or difficulty eating, seek emergency care.

If you suspect an allergy-related cough, consulting your pediatrician is best; they can refer you to a pediatric allergy specialist if needed.
