Doctor can examine: In the US, the recommendation is not to use cold medications such as decongestants, antihistamines, and cough suppressants in babies or young children who have typical cold symptoms. Each patient and each illness has its individual characteristics, so it is hard to generalize. That said, babies under 3 months of age with any ill symptoms usually get an in-person exam.
