Baby with cough

Hi

DD2 is 8 weeks and has a heavy cold and a cough. Other than that she's fine; no temp and quite chirpy if sleeping a bit more than usual (if an 8 week old has usual yet).

Should I take her to the GP for a cough because she's so little? Not sure about waiting and seeing because it's Friday.

Advice appreciated - thanks

Is she still taking plenty of milk and having lots of wet Nappies?

If not, or she shows any signs of struggling to breathe I would get her seen asap otherwise see how she goes. If your at all worried though it will do no harm to get her checked over

Thanks - she is. Think I will leave it as she really does seem fine otherwise.

Tks for reply!
