A member asked:
Everyone in my house has had a cold but we are better except my 21 month old. he's had congested/runny nose and cough for exactly a week now. should i bring him to the doctor ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If the kid feeds well, plays and otherwise acts normal I don't consider the length of the congestion a reason to go see the doc. If the kids' feeds are off, play is minimal, or he just spooks you go in.
