My 7 month old has had a cold/cough for a couple weeks now. Her runny nose has come and gone a couple times, lasting for a day or so and not being too bothersome at all.

Her cough, on the other hand, has been rough. She's had a dry cough for two weeks now and it doesn't seem to be improving at all. She can go for long stretches during they day with no issues, but that changes at night and when nursing or taking bottles at daycare.

No fever until today (100.8 was the highest I got).

I took her to the doc last Wednesday because there have been some nasty colds/croup at daycare and to have her ears checked just in case. (My first had terrible ears.) The doctor said no croup and that it was likely just a cold that needed to run its course.

It's been another 5-6 days now and she seems to be feeling worse today now with the low fever and being extra fussy.

Would you wait it out a bit longer for it to runs its course or make another trip to the ped? Even as a second time mom, I still have to second guess when it's appropriate to see the doc!
