Is this a normal cold/flu type thing or do I need to take him to doctors?
DS is just over 6 months.
Snotty nose. Chesty cough. Sounds wheezy when he breathes.
He's not drinking hardly any milk, he'll have a couple of ounces and then be finished. If he has much more he vomits it up. (Once yesterday, twice day before). This morning he woke up after being asleep for 12 hours had two ounces and wouldn't take anymore. So when he went back to sleep I dream fed him 5 more.
Before this cold, he fed every 3 hours , 8-9 oz a time.
Diarrhoea. I've started weaning him over last two weeks so don't know if that's because of that big he's hardly eating anything so don't think so.
I've got cough medicine he was prescribed last time he had a cough, and got calpol, and a diff one for flu, got nose spray to clear him, and snuffle baby to put on chest.
He's a large baby so not worried about his weight or anything. I know he's going to lose some with diarrhoea and being off his milk but when is it time to go to doctors?
Don't want to go and waste their time if he's just got a cold and they can't do anything.
