Cough & runny nose

[Ashley&Scott]

DS has started getting sick. Monday it started with a runny nose, yesterday he started coughing. This morning he's been coughing quite a bit, every few minutes for the last 20 minutes. No fever & seems happy.

I'm calling the pedi, the cough getting worse worries me a little. Would you keep him home from daycare?

DD is doing something similar, although not coughing as often as your DS. I'm sending her to daycare given the lack of fever and the fact she seems in good spirits, but I will mention the symptoms to her teacher so that they know to keep an eye on her. I figure they can just call me if she starts seeming uncomfortable or comes down with fever.

DS just had this. I asked on here and most people said not to take him. I ended up taking him to the pedi anyway and he was wheezing so they wrote me a prescription for abeutrol. Or however, that is spelled. Pedi just said it was a cold though.

Thanks ladies. He coughed consistently for the first 15-20 minutes he was awake, then it got much better. (The NoseFrida really seemed to help.)

I'm sure it's just a cold/cough. We did take him to daycare today, they said it's going around his class. I'm going to call his pedi to see what he thinks.
