If I think it might be more then I take her in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-to-per-for-cold-symptoms#post-1519114 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 08:32:50 +0000 sunshineandsushi 1519114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I normally wait it out unless I think it might also be an ear infection. But if it doesn't clear up within two weeks, I do take them in. Most recently, it turned into sinus infections for my boys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-to-per-for-cold-symptoms#post-1519101 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 08:28:09 +0000 autumnlove 1519101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not anymore. I try to wait it out if it only seems like a cold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-to-per-for-cold-symptoms#post-1519023 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 07:49:34 +0000 Cole 1519023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am sort of paranoid (and the nanny so they aren't my kids) so if the mom isn't available or is unsure I just call and chat with the nurse. 99 times out of 100 they say treat with saline and maybe X can when if Y happens. So my vote is call the nurse if you're worried but they will probably day don't bother. The other thing to consider is when you're sick your immune system is already weakened so sitting in the sick kid waiting room means you might get something worse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-to-per-for-cold-symptoms#post-1519013 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 07:46:06 +0000 Foodnerd81 1519013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did when she was teeny- under 6 weeks, just in case. Classic first time mom since all he said was to do saline drops and a nasal aspirator, but I just felt like she was sooo young. I wouldn't now at 8 months unless it was really bad or not going away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-to-per-for-cold-symptoms#post-1519009 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 07:40:31 +0000 MsLipGloss 1519009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do if there is a quick change in symptoms, i.e., my LO went from having no cough to having a heavy wet cough in about 2-3 days, so I took her in (viral bronchitis). I am also quick to take her in when there is an indication that she may have an ear infection (although she has only had 2 in 18 months). And, if the symptoms stick around for 2 weeks (runny nose and a cough), I will take her in when it looks like it's not going to run it's course and clear up on its own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-to-per-for-cold-symptoms#post-1518996 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 07:24:45 +0000 matador84 1518996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you take your LO to dr for cold symptoms? Or try to treat at home? </p>
