My 19 month old granddaughter has runny eyes and nose is this an allergy to something and can a 19 month old have allergies

Unless she has had a "runny eyes and nose" since the day she was born, or unless something has significantly changed in her usual environment (carpet, pet, laundry or bath products); it is unlikely to be allergies.

It is more likely to be the typical cold or sniffles, especially if she attends day care or preschool with other children.

But to answer your question about allergies, yes. It is possible for a child that age to have allergies.

If her parents are concerned, they should ask your granddaughter's pediatrician to evaluate her condition and determine a course of action, if one is warranted.

Hi Renee. Jkgrandma is right, even though your granddaughter is only a year and a half old, it could be an allergy. I found out not long ago that we in can be attacked with allergies at any age, sometimes for only one season, while other people have them regularly all their lives. From what I found out, allergies are basically unpredictable and no one is immune at any age.
