The ped said that was a great sign!

What if the green snot is in conjunction with a fever? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-toddler-has-green-snot-and-no-other-cold-symptoms#post-2060561 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 11:20:56 +0000 hotchildinthecity 2060561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son has the same exact thing going on and he's teething canines. Since I'm a new mom (ha!) i took him to the doctor and they said just use the aspirator and make sure he doesn't have a fever. It's been going on for around two weeks as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-toddler-has-green-snot-and-no-other-cold-symptoms#post-2060553 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 11:18:15 +0000 mamimami 2060553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not a big believer in the significance of snot color, so I would not do anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-toddler-has-green-snot-and-no-other-cold-symptoms#post-2060551 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 11:17:41 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2060551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Green snot means the infection fighting cells are there and working. We aren't so concerned about green snot the way parents are :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-toddler-has-green-snot-and-no-other-cold-symptoms#post-2060538 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 11:14:11 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2060538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would call. 3 weeks is a long time, and green usually means there's some sort of infection. I would just want to be sure it wasn't in LO's ears. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-toddler-has-green-snot-and-no-other-cold-symptoms#post-2060519 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 11:08:18 +0000 Corduroy 2060519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long would you let the green snot continue before you call/visit the doctor? </p> <p>LO has had thick green snot for most of three weeks now. Some days it's lighter than others but it has run consistently for the last two days. I'm really not sure if it is the same runny nose or different colds (?) back to back. She is teething (K9s) but other than that I don't see signs of any health issues (no fever, tiredness, lack of appetite, cough). LO is almost 2 and in daycare. Daycare says nobody else has been sick and they usually tell me when something is going around.</p> <p>Do I keep waiting for more symptoms or has it been long enough that I should call? </p>
