Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Two months seems enough time felf medication, especially such a small child. I will prefer my child to be taken careby a pediatrician even if it seems to be a case of allergy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
