A member asked:

Hi! my son who is 3 years old has had a fever for the last couple of days, cough & cold but his mannerisms are normal... is it ok to let him swim?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

In the ocean: As long as a child feels well enough, s/he may swim in a personal pool or in the ocean with a mild cold. Swimming in a public or small pool with others may put them at increased risk for also getting sick (depending on the sanitation practices).
