21 month old DD coughing and dry irritable skin

DD's been coughing past few days and cough seems to be getting worse. Nursery has said that other children have been coughing too.
So, not too worried about this. BUT, what worries me is that her skin has been getting dry and her wrists in particular seem to irritate her. We've tried E45 cream, which provides some short term relief.

Have booked an appointment for her at doctor's on Monday morning, but is this too late?

Apart from this, DD seems fine and happy in herself.

sounds like my DD's eczema, the doctor will be able to give you creams to help with it

Thanks for advice.
Just got home and DD doesn't seem as bad as the nanny made out on the telephone.

Might try cutting out cows milk though ... but that's another thread
