Did she have a runny nose? That may be the source of the cough?</p> <p>Our guy had a fever for 3 days (102.something) that just wouldn't kick, so we took him in. The pedi said roseola if a rash came or just a virus if not. He started feeling better, but I would have taken him back if I felt like something else was wrong. </p> <p>Do you think you could last the weekend if she doesn't start feeling better? If not (or if you hate urgent care like I do), you might want to do a visit today to check out the cough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-your-lo-have-to-be-sick-for-you-to-start-to-really-worry#post-821123 Fri, 31 May 2013 07:48:44 +0000 T.H.O.U. 821123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would take her back. If you are off of work anyways and its Friday, try to get in before the weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-your-lo-have-to-be-sick-for-you-to-start-to-really-worry#post-821034 Fri, 31 May 2013 07:17:35 +0000 mediagirl 821034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: the cough started after her visit. He listened to her lungs (though her "you're a stranger, get away" screams), looked at her ears, eyes and throat. All looked good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-your-lo-have-to-be-sick-for-you-to-start-to-really-worry#post-821030 Fri, 31 May 2013 07:16:28 +0000 Honeybee 821030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would take her in after 5 days. My DS also had a fever and congestion at the beginnin gof this week. His fever broke yesterday and a rash appeared last night so I'm pretty sure it's roseola. If he was still feverish today, or if I didn't know what the rash was, I would've taken him in today. I usually make an appointment between 3-5 days, depending on how sick they really are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-your-lo-have-to-be-sick-for-you-to-start-to-really-worry#post-821028 Fri, 31 May 2013 07:15:06 +0000 regberadaisy 821028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have learned from M's recent bout with pneumonia that NO ONE knows our babies like WE do! Not even the pediatrician.</p> <p>Did your ped listen to her chest? What did they say? Did the phlegmy cough start after or before her visit? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-your-lo-have-to-be-sick-for-you-to-start-to-really-worry#post-821018 Fri, 31 May 2013 07:13:10 +0000 mediagirl 821018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M had a fever for 3 days at the beginning of this week. She broke into a rash on Wednesday, it was more pronounced on Thursday and it's still there today. Now she is showing signs of a loose, phlegmy cough. She's only happy if someone is holding her - while standing. Even then she gets cranky. I feel so bad for her and helpless because I really shouldn't take any time off work right now. Even still, I may take the afternoon off if I feel like we need to make a return visit to the pediatrician. </p> <p>I really thought she would be feeling better by now so, I'm starting to worry. :( </p>
