Mumsnet Talk

We are flying on Tuesday for a 2 week holiday to tenerife, but my DD has come down with a heavy cold it started on Sunday but she is still very choked and has a cough. Will it be safe for her to travel on Tuesday as I read it can be painful and dangerous for her ears or should I see a GP for a medical opinion. Or am I being a bit OTT and will probably be fine in another 6 days??

WWYD?

bumping for impatient me !!!

dose her up with as much medicine as you can (calpol etc) and hopefully she will be better.
Make sure she drinks on take off and landing and maybe get her ears checked out if possible before you go

thanks for the reply. She is still bad today, cant see any signs of this imrpoving quickly If she is better to fly I will get her ears checked on Monday...have a feeling we arent going to be going anywhere though

get yourself straight to the pharmacy and see what they suggest. Treat the cold and cough as much as you can and hopefully she will be ok to fly. If you really dose her up hopefully the cold will go, or at least clear up a bit and so hopefully her ears will be ok

never thought to try the pharmacist, will go down today and see what they suggest thanks

hope your DD gets better soon and you have a great holiday. Don't forget to ensure she swallows on take off and landing (particularly landing) so make sure she has a drink or sweets to hand.

thanks very much fingers crossed all will be well for Tuesday
