My DD (one year old) has had a runny nose since Friday. I just assumed it was related to teething or possible mild hayfever as her eyes have been watering too. My DH and I are both prone to hayfever so that's why I thought this. Over the weekend she has got progressively worse, nose constantly running and eyes watery too. She's also been a bit irritable but generally feeding and sleeping okay.

Today we saw our paed and he saw how she was and didn't comment but as the day has gone on she has got even worse. Nose constantly running, and she had choked up phlemg several times. She now has a cough and seems to have slight temp. She has also been up a couple of times since going down.

Does this sound like an ordinary cold that we simply ride out or something else? I know that if she gets a fever that is high we will of course get her checked. Her nose isn't green at all - all clear. I think she is coughing because she has so much phlegm. My DH put some baby vix on her chest. I have her in my bed at moment - is this okay or should she be in her own bed? I don't want her to choke during night and we don't hear her. My DH is going to sleep in spare room.

Any other ideas to help her congestion or runny nose? The poor thing looks sooooo miserable and sounds terrible.
