A member asked:

Just got over a cold that required antibiotics. he now has the worst runny nose, yellow, thick, continuous. but only for a day. wait it out? see doc?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cold worse: hello~ yes WAIT it out. Colds or URI s are viral so I dont know why he needed an antibiotic. We treat colds in kids symptomatically, unless high fever that wont break or signs of pneumonia. For kids 1 year old BEST Rx is to visit Pediatrician at least 2 -3 x during an acute illness so that an experienced person can make all these difficult decisions. And they are !
