Is this worthy of a doctors appointment?

DD (8 months) has a stomach bug last weekend, then had tonsillitis the Monday following.

She had a 5 day course of antibiotics and is much better but she still has a horrendous cough at night. The glands on the back of her head look really swollen. I think it’s her glands anyway...

I’m thinking of calling drs this morning but I don’t know if I’m being precious...

I would call them, they may well triage over the phone asking you a number of questions rather than using a doctor's appointment (they would at ours).

IME when it comes to babies, GPS would rather see you if you’re worried. They can’t tell you what’s wrong. I think it’s very unlikely they’d give advice without seeing the baby, far too risky. I’d definitely make an appointment.
