Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

M.D. visit or call: It depends whether the symptoms are mild and resolving in which case treating the symptoms, monitoring temperature and providing fluids will help her recovery. A call to your pediatrician's office is a good idea. If there is a fever, pain, persistent cough or distress, or worsening, it is best to see your doctor.
