11 Month Old with Allergies?

I think my son has allergies.  He's constantly rubbing his nose and sneezing.  He also rubs his eyes sometimes non-stop for a good 15 minutes.  It always seems that he has a cold because his nose is running all of the time.  Being that I have horrible allergies myself, I'm thinking that I passed this on to him.  I'm allergic to dust, trees, pollen, cats, a little from dogs, but I have no food allergies.  So could he be allergic to these things as well?  What is the solution here?  What medications can I give him or is this something that he just has to deal with?  I just feel so bad for him, he seems very uncomfortable.

I would ask the pediatrician. They might recommend that he see a pediatric allergist. This definitely sounds like allergies. Maybe he is allergic to the dogs?

I was afraid of that since he was young.  He used to get bumps on his face when his face touched any dog hair.  The pediatrician said that it's just his skin is so sensitive.  Eventually, he stopped having a reaction to the hair.  That would be the worst thing....yikes.
