What are the deciding factors for you when determining when to take a child to the pediatrician?

I rarely do these days, but we have been very blessed with good health.

I ask today because my 11 month old has lots of yellow mucous, from nose and eyes, a juicy cough and a fever. In the past, I would have been there first thing in the morning, now I am a little slower to make that call.

Just wondering.

Ironically, I am an RN who used to work in a ped's office and also as an advice nurse. You would think I would have this straight in my head.

Molly -

I think you need to take the child in. It sounds like there are some bacterial infection concerns, like the eye discharge together with the fever. I would look at the constellation of symptoms, not just knee-jerk take them in for a fever. But this sounds like a fair amount going on that would warrant an office visit.

Hope baby feels better soon.

Peace,
Nancy

Molly,

Breast milk in the eyes and nose may be quite helpful. Do you use homeopathics?

Tammy,
what can I give her?

Thanks, Nancy, I think you are right.
