Allergy to milk will not usually cause wheezing and cough. However, allergy to cat may be one of the main reason. Even so, you still have to go to the doctor and get it properly diagnosed.

Constant wheezing and coughing are a sign of allergies. The only way to address this is to take the child to the doctor for evaluation and possible allergy testing.
Then, you can do your best to remove the allergens from your child's life, give the child medications that control the allergy if you cannot remove it, or a series of allergy shots that will desensitizd the child.
It is important to do this. If your child feels miserable because of allergies it will he hard for the child to learn in school later on. Mucuous that builds up in the nose, throat and chest because of allergies make a good breeding ground for germs, so your child will get sick more often. Your child will also be more likely to have ear infections that require medical attention.
By having your child checked now, and by controlling the problem now, you can prevent a lot of suffering for your child in the future and save a lot of medical expenses in the long run.Health Question & Answer
