At what point should we see the pedi?

...or should we just ride it out?

SIL got sick after we saw her on Friday. Fast forward to Monday, and DD developed a nasty cough (sounds productive), runny nose and fever (nothing over 102 yet). No change thru today, but she's eating less and less (5 oz since 7 this morning). we've tried Tylenol, humidifier, sleeping on an incline...but I'm at a loss about what else to do to make her more comfortable.

    I'd ditch the Tylenol in favor of Motrin/ibuprofen to start.  If her nose is still really stuffy you could try a saline spray and bulb syringe or Nosefrida.  Vicks Baby Rub also seems to have helped Catie in the past but I don't remember if it can be used that young.

    If she's been eating fine until today I wouldn't worry too much yet. I would call Friday AM before the weekend sneaks up on you if she's not feeling better, though.
