Coughing and Congestion.

My LO started daycare on Monday of this week and last night we've noticed that she is congested and has been coughing a lot (she isn't  weezy though). Does this sound like a cold? Everything is so different in babies, it makes me nervous! I plan on calling the pedi in a few hours when they open to be sure but I would love to know if any of you have already experienced this Ave how you tackled it.

  • Cold will typically come with runny nose, but yes, it sounds like something. Take her temperature and call the nurse line at your pediatrician to ask what you should do

  • I called the pedi this morning. They said it sounds like a cold since she has no temp but to call if it gets worse. I'm going to put the humidifier near her crib tonight and keep suctioning the snot out. 
  • Yeah my lo had a cold when he was about 2 1/2 months old. He had a bit of a cough and a lot of snot as well as congestion. You could hear how congested he was when he breathed. I suctioned the snot with the nose Frieda everyday and we ran the humidifier at night. After about 4-5 days it cleared on its own.
