My baby will be 6 months in 2 weeks. her temperature is now 97.1f. she has a cough and a runny nose. should she go to the er?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More info needed: Thank you for your question! I would have her go to the ER if she is having trouble breathing (wheezing, noisy breathing). Most likely it is a common cold (antibiotics wouldn't help). Just use a humidifier in her room and watch her temp. If she develops a fever (defined as over 100.3 F, then she should go to the ER. I hope she feels better!!!
