The lack of fever is promising.</p> <p>Also, are you using a humidifier in the house? That can help with congestion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-would-you-worry-about-a-runny-nose#post-2663842 Sat, 10 Dec 2016 19:42:11 +0000 maddyz 2663842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just took my LO2 who is almost 3 months in because he has been snotty for ages and now has a cough. Doc said it's all fine, but to keep an eye out for wheezing or a fever. Poor second children... It's always good to check. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-would-you-worry-about-a-runny-nose#post-2663821 Sat, 10 Dec 2016 16:20:45 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 2663821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Deleted because I saw the age of the kiddo! Id take her, but be prepared for the possibility of many tests. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-would-you-worry-about-a-runny-nose#post-2663820 Sat, 10 Dec 2016 16:19:15 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 2663820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <br /><p><i>This comment has been deleted by the original poster.</i></p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-would-you-worry-about-a-runny-nose#post-2663809 Sat, 10 Dec 2016 14:54:13 +0000 youboots 2663809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd take her on based on age alone.

I hope she feels better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-would-you-worry-about-a-runny-nose#post-2663546 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 14:48:09 +0000 psw27 2663546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It never hurts to take her in if you think its lingering a bit longer than it should. I usually let things run their course but if she's congested enough that she can't sleep it might be worth getting an opinion to see if her ears or sinuses are infected! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-would-you-worry-about-a-runny-nose#post-2663537 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 14:30:21 +0000 ShootingStar 2663537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm curious at what point (if any) I should worry about my DD's runny nose. The entire family got sick starting on Thanksgiving (over 2 weeks ago now). DH and DS are now fine. DD and I are still sick, but I had a sinus infection that I got antibiotics for 2 days ago. </p> <p>She's had a really runny and stuffy nose for at least 10 days now. It's affecting her sleep and her ability to eat. She's close to 4 months old and hasn't had a fever.</p> <p>Usually for a cold I just let it run it's course. With a 3 year old I'm used to these things being ever present. But now that I'm on antibiotics and starting to feel better and she's still having issues I'm wondering if I should have her seen at the ped? Is there a chance it's an ear infection that's making this last so long? </p>
