do u think my 6 month old has allergies or something else?

ok well the dr said he probably just has allergies and told me to get zyrtec, i've been trying it for about 4 day and nothing has changed. he has coughing, congestion, stuffy nose, lots of mucus, he's not eating like he used to and he wakes up at night very upset. he has an appointment again tomorrow but i just want to know if anyone has been through this before please share your stories or input.

    Could very well be a cold. Babies get colds and it sucks because you feel helpless. Your baby is old enough to use baby Vick's rub or you could use the pediasure Vick's plug in. They work great for the congestion witch wakes the baby up and makes him fussy. Hope it helps some.

    it could be a cold and an ear infection...i am surprised that the doc suggested meds at this age.
