Hi, my son is 6 months old. he woke up with a little cough and the occasional sneeze this morning. no fever. should i take him to a dr. or wait?

Some thoughts...: Babies ages 3-12 months can easily catch colds from other people. If there is just a runny nose, without much fussiness, without any high fever, without other worrisome symptoms, then parents can leave the nose alone. If the mucous is blocking the nose somewhat, try a few drops of saline, followed by gentle suctioning with a suction bulb. A doctor should examine younger or more symptomatic babies.
