Sam's not well at the moment. We're talking a lot of snot (clear) and judging from the way he sounds and the way DH and I feel (we've all got it), a very sore throat. He has a bit of a cough, but not really very often. He gets the occasional mild fever and gets grizzly when he's hot but settles with panadol and some mummy love.

Is it worth taking him to the doctor just to be told to continue doing what I'm doing? I'm thinking that there's not really much more that can be done for a 10 month old and the clear snot implies no bacterial infection so antibiotics are pointless. I'm just not up for being out of the house if it can be avoided - I don't like sitting around in doctors waiting rooms with my compromised immune system, especially when I've already got a cold myself.
