HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The milk she is using is not cow's milk, babies are not allowed cow's milk till they are at least 1 year old.
Milk allergy may present in different forms normally with a rash on the skin, stomach upset with vomiting, loose stools or in some cases constipation.
The symptoms that you described are in keeping with a cold but because she does not have a good immune system as yet, it would take a while for her to fight it off.
You may want to consider taking her for assessment.
I hope this helps
