Most of the time, I don't bother to be honest: there is not much a Dr can do apart from offer the advice of "keep up the fluids".

BUT, if I do see a lot of the vile green snot, indicating a sign of infection, or if they are super cranky, I do them take them to the Dr........just so I can get their ears checked.......all of of mine seem to get ear infections as a result of a snotty cold, and I'd rather keep on top of the ear infections. (It does mean a dose of AB's sadly.)

As for a cough, I don;t think there is anything they can do for that?

Good luck: hope she keeps improving!
