Depends upon: Is there fever? A rash? Irritability? If any of these are present or the baby is in distress you should see the doctor right away. If none of the above then try suctioning the nose a few times a day. But if no better again see your doctor.

Runny nose: The details aren't specific enough to answer clearly. If the child has a low grade temperature it may be one of many common viral illnesses. Is there is an irritant in the home, this also can lead to chronic cough and runny nose: cigarette smoke! is the child gaining weight well, what is the family history? So it is important to follow up with a pediatrician to evaluate and treat.
