This sounds really dumb as I type it out

Okay that's what I thought. I don't think it's a dumb question, it's just probably not one any of us can answer because we don't know what in dairy you're reacting to.
Also recently I've been having a few chocolate chips at night and I've been stuffy again.
sounds like it is that... you might be able to get soya versions of milk chocolate... or train your tastebuds to like dark chocolate0 -
Oh Dear Lord I will pray for thy stupid question. No such thing ad a stupid question, only stupid people.....0

You could always eat it and see if it affects you. I get what you're saying about dairy, but I've never had that issue with milk chocolate.0

Have you had an allergy test? If it affects your sinuses, it could be a serious allergy. Peanut butter, even in trace amounts, used to affect my sinuses. I loved it and ate it anyway. One day, my sister made homemade peanut butter cups. Delicious...until my throat started getting itchy in addition to my sinuses swelling. Then I went into anaphylactic shock. Good times. But not really because I almost died.
Dairy doesn't affect my sinuses, but makes me projectile vomit. Even small amounts of milk chocolate. So...my point is, be careful and don't ask on a random website for other people's opinions.0 -

Since it was just a stuffy nose reaction I didn't quite take it as seriously.
I'll look into it with my doctor.0 -

Sorry, I didn't mean to freak you out. By "affecting my sinuses," I mean that I could literally feel sinus pressure within seconds of eating peanuts/peanut butter. It wasn't just a stuffy nose. But I still suggest getting tested by some sort of doctor. And in any case, even if it is just an intolerance, clearly your body is sending you a message.

if you were allergic to it, you would break out in hives. being itchy, abdominal pain, anaphylactic shock.... stuffy nose would be least of your problems0

But...
Is milk chocolate considered dairy?
What I mean is, does it have enough milk in it to affect my sinuses?
( I get stuffy and all that grossness when I have milk/dairy products)
What happens when you eat it? It doesn't matter if it's "considered" dairy or not, if it causes unpleasant side effects for you, don't eat it. There! Wasn't that simple?0 -

that is not sufficient evidence for milk to be the factor.
fan on, narrowing of the septum, deviated septum, not washing your hair before you sleep because hair is known for catching allergens, not washing your pillow0 -

Not everyone reacts to things the same

I like how your pic makes this question seem even sillier.0

Is jello a Fruit? But REALLY, why don't YOU just eat a piece and see...or better yet, ask an Allergist.0 -
You can get Diary free chocolate, If you can't have Diary i would suggest having that next time. I wouldn't want to risk anything.0
