Question 1

runny nose, sneezing, slight cough and watery eyes in a baby?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like a cold: This is pretty typical as the early signs of a URI in an infant. As long as they stay on their regular pattern of activities including feeding & rest, this can be monitored. If the infants playful activities decline, feeding drops off & or they have obvious breathing difficulty, an evaluation is warrented.

Question 2

my one year old has watery eyes and runny nose, should i give him antihistamines?

Accepted Answer

Seldom needed: Although used for decades these meds have not been shown to shorten an illness & may increase the thickness of secretions making it harder to cough them out.Many kids felt a little more would help them & self medicated & ended up in emergency rooms.The aap & other groups discourage their use under 6. I have mixed feelings. Saline nasal wash is preferable for younger kids.

Question 3

my son is 9 months old. i think he has some seasional  allergies.  he is sneezing a lot, red watery eyes, and runny nose and all discharge is clear?

Accepted Answer

Don't assume allergy: If i blow pepper in your face, you sneeze & drain the same as those with allergy. I find babies have more congestion with scented cleaning products, perfume, smoke & other irritants than they do with animal dander or pollens. The tiny nasal passages that become very noisy with a little mucous or swelling gives many the wrong idea. Thease are not little copies of adult problems, their issues differ.

Question 4

what causes watery eyes and a runny nose?

Accepted Answer

Enviroment Allergies: 'tis the season with everything bloming to have 'environmental allergy symptoms' of watery eyes, runny nose.  Daily anti-histamines are available otc (zyrtec, claritin, allegra) and may help with symtoms. You may want to get seen if not improving.  A prescription of Flonase nasal spray (fluticazone generic) may help or a trial of singulair (montelukast).  An allergist can be a great resource.

Question 5

is it possible to get rid of watery eyes, runny nose, and coughing mucus in a day?

Accepted Answer

Watery eyes: Sounds like you have a viral illness.  Take an over-the-counter decongestant and see if this helps.  A saline nasal spray is also helpful.  Drink plenty of fluids and get some rest.  If you are still having problems after 7 days, call your primary doctor.

Question 6

my 13 month old son has watery eyes.runny. nose very wingdy. doesn't want cuddles and very unsettled!  he hasn't got a temp.also has a horse voice?

Accepted Answer

Sounds concerning: Usually over a year old is out of the woods, but the symptoms you describe are concerning.  I would go and see your regular physician.

Question 7

my 2 year old granddaughter has a fever along with watery eyes and a runny nose. what should i give her?

Accepted Answer

Give love and soup!: You don't actually need to give her anything.  If her fever is under 104 and she is drinking ok and not complaining of pain, it is really better to let her run the fever to help fight her infection. With the runny nose, there are not alot of great helpful meds for a 2 y/o.  As helpful is humidity, fluids (good ole chicken soup) and the cuddle of someone to let her know you are there for her.

Question 8

i wake up w/ itchy watery eyes, runny nose. my room is really dusty. am i allergic to dust? if yes, is it bad that i expose myself to allergens every

Accepted Answer

Yes: The most logical approach for allergy is avoidance. However dust may not be the only thing you are allergic to since this is the beginning of the pollen season in your area as the weather starts to warm up along with the melted snow.

Question 9

11 months watery eyes, runny nose, mild cough and rectal temp. up to 40. this z been happn 4 1 month on and off. doc says its viral. is it viral infc.

Accepted Answer

Workup: A rectal temp of 40 C is unlikely to be due to an allergic reaction, but some of your other symptoms could be related to an allergic reaction. . 
The fever should be further evaluated, and a physical exam to diagnose a cause of the fevers, along with testing should be performed.

Question 10

my daughter 2 has watery eyes runny nose (white like water and also green and thick during the day) she has had fever twice please assist wih medisyn that i can give het to help her fight the bug she is also cutting a molar tooth?

Accepted Answer

Cold symptoms: Your daughter needs to be examined before medication is prescribed. If virus, there are numerous OTC meds that can mask some of her symptoms. If bacterial, antibiotics may be indicated. Not knowing her age/weight, severity of her fever, any recommendation would be a guess. Please call her Pediatrician for guidance. And make sure she is seeing a Dentist regularly (1st dental appt @ 1st b'day).
