DS2 19 weeks has an absolute stinker of a cold, loads of snot, runny nose streaming eyes and hacking chesty cough. Is there any other signs i can look out for to tell if this is a chest infection that needs Anti biotics? I am treating it as just a cold at the mo, and giving calpol, using a menthol vaporiser thingy in his bedroom and propping him up as much as i can.....doom and gloom DH thinks a doc's trip is in order, (as usual) and I am happy to take him but can they actualy do anything for a heavy cold???
TIA for all advice...
