How much of a cold re first jabs?

[pie]

DD2 is due for her first round of imunisations on Tuesday but she has a bit of a bunged up nose. Not running, but thick green snot and I've got her in her baby sling right now as she can't breathe too well when I lie her down.

Is this ok for her jabs or shall I delay them?

delay them

You think? Shes not grumpy or anything, just got the snotty nose.

the greeness indicates a virus or somehting
maybe i am just paranoid

I'm recovering from DS's second set of injections yesterday. He was totally well when he had both sets but has reacted both times. I personally would delay them if she has any hint of a cold.

I would ask the GP to check him over before giving the jab. My children are snotty the whole winter, but I prefer the snot to be clear Agree green thick snot (lovely) could be sound of infection......

Green snot is usually a sign of a bacterial infection, not viral, but I agree I would get her checked first.

I have just finished reading a book about antibiotics, coughs,colds etc. It says in there that there is no evidence to suggest that green snot means anything worse than a normal cold. Colds are caused by virus' only and it is normal for alot of children to start off with clear snot, turning yellow or green a few days later. Saying that i would make sure that mine were free from any symptoms of colds at the time of having jabs just to be on the safe side. If you are still unsure perhaps it's best to ask your g.p.
