To take DD3 camping with a cold

2 replies

DD is nearly 3 and has had a cold for 6 days. As is typical for her when she gets a cold she had a low grade fever over the weekend but that has now gone and she has a mucousy chesty cough with a little yellowish phlegm (only yellow today but have since read that colour is not indicative of infection) cough isn't very regular. She definitely seems better.
She is eating/drinking/running around happily but is obviously looking a bit tired and snotty!
Anyway we are booked to go camping for 3 nights tomorrow and the temp will be 7 degrees over night Thursday - am worried this is too cold for her. She had a chest infection earlier this year that has made me extra worried that putting the tail end of a cold in a tent at 7 degrees could lead to a chest infection? Or AIBU?

Other option is we go just Friday and Saturday night as temperature is set to be 11/12 degrees over night which is better than 7 and then another recovery day for her at home tomorrow!

What would you do?

I'd go. Unless your child has a weak immune system.

I would still go if she seems otherwise fine in herself
