Probably viral: Child probably has a viral Upper respiratory infection. Usually takes 5-7 days regardless. If lethargic,not drinking, not responding, difficulty breathing, or fever returning then doctor needs to see her again. Children of this age group are incapable of throwing out phlegm but do a very decent job of coughing it up &then swallowing which actually removes it from the respiratory system.
