Is there a link between dairy and allergic rhinitis?

Rhinitis symptoms such as a runny or itchy nose can occur in individuals with a cow’s milk protein allergy. However, cow’s milk allergy affects < 3 % of infants (with most outgrowing the allergy by the age of 3-5 years). The majority of allergic rhinitis cases are related to airborne allergens e.g. dust mites, animal dander and pollen.
