RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl1 Year agoA. Some doctors do not advise you to give milk during this time because they believe it is going to aggravate congestion so it’s okay for the time being you can avoid and what is your child suffering from otherwise that’s not clear to me but once the child is better then you can again start giving milk
