If you haven't asked yet, maybe there's something else that makes them think she needs a checkup, like she's been cranky or not napping well... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-lo-to-the-ped-for-a-runny-nose#post-2592461 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 20:01:05 +0000 SweetCaroline 2592461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely not.

I will say that I have had DS teachers mention his constant runny nose and possible allergies often with the assumption that there is something wrong with him (his nose has pretty much been runny since birth). I finally brought him to see an allergist and he is allergic to dust! Go figure. We've made a concerted effort to minimize his exposure to dust and it has made a huge difference! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-lo-to-the-ped-for-a-runny-nose#post-2592253 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 15:00:00 +0000 looch 2592253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it would make the daycare people happy and I could get an appointment, sure, why not? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-lo-to-the-ped-for-a-runny-nose#post-2592250 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 14:58:16 +0000 FaithFertility 2592250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heck No! I feel like a runny nose with no other symptoms especially if clear for a toddler is teeth, sinus, allergies......nothing that I would run to Dr. about, but if it were green, yellow or lasted with other symptoms then maybe </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-lo-to-the-ped-for-a-runny-nose#post-2592228 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 14:40:08 +0000 erinbaderin 2592228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't remember the last time my toddler didn't have a runny nose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-lo-to-the-ped-for-a-runny-nose#post-2592210 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 14:30:33 +0000 SweetiePie 2592210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ummm no that seems silly to me! I would begrudgingly do it if they refused to take her back or sent her home for it. But if it was just a polite suggestion I'd ignore it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-lo-to-the-ped-for-a-runny-nose#post-2592161 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 13:57:04 +0000 lamariniere 2592161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: he just said it was running a lot and was green. Well, I paid close attention and I only had to blow her nose twice between pickup and bedtime and nothing was green and there aren't any other symptoms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-lo-to-the-ped-for-a-runny-nose#post-2592157 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 13:55:07 +0000 yellowbird 2592157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-lo-to-the-ped-for-a-runny-nose#post-2592144 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 13:47:00 +0000 PawPrints 2592144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is majorly weird.

Glad I'm not the only one. I just talked to another daycare mom who said she thinks they are overly precautious. Obviously, if I thought my child was actually ill, we would go to the doctor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-lo-to-the-ped-for-a-runny-nose#post-2591866 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 09:40:25 +0000 Truth Bombs 2591866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It would have to go on for much longer and be dark green for a runny nose to warrant a doctor's visit. Did they mention any other symptoms they were seeing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-lo-to-the-ped-for-a-runny-nose#post-2591864 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 09:40:12 +0000 josina 2591864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. And I don't even think the DR's office would want you to after only 3 days?<br /> When I've called in the past for a cold they usually don't want to see them unless it's been 10+ days or they're wheezing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-lo-to-the-ped-for-a-runny-nose#post-2591860 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 09:38:28 +0000 travelgirl1 2591860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. Not if it was literally just a runny nose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-lo-to-the-ped-for-a-runny-nose#post-2591859 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 09:37:36 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2591859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha.<br /> No.</p> <p>DD2 had a runny nose for three straight months this winter. I only took her in when it was accompanied by more serious symptoms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-lo-to-the-ped-for-a-runny-nose#post-2591848 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 09:30:08 +0000 youboots 2591848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-lo-to-the-ped-for-a-runny-nose#post-2591844 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 09:27:29 +0000 catlady 2591844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, no. I'd ask the daycare specifically why they'd suggest that. Toddlers seem to have perpetual runny noses around here and our daycare would never even mention it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-lo-to-the-ped-for-a-runny-nose#post-2591841 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 09:26:27 +0000 LuLu Mom 2591841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, this makes me laugh that they would even suggest it. It's allergies or a little bit of a summer cold, it'll run it's course. If other symptoms come no then maybe, but a runny nose is a runny nose nothing they can do for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-take-your-lo-to-the-ped-for-a-runny-nose#post-2591837 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 09:24:20 +0000 lamariniere 2591837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 2.5 and has had a runny nose for a few days, but not even a week yet, with zero other symptoms. Today, daycare said they think I should take her to the doctor. I just spent the entire weekend with her, so I'm aware that her nose is runny, but to me, it doesn't merit a doctor visit. I've been treating her with the nasal spray the ped always recommends during cold season. Would you go to the doctor if daycare thought you needed to? </p>
