I think my 6 week old is getting sick

She sounds congested and is coughing and sneezing a little. She doesnt have a fever though. Should I take her to the ped? Since she doesnt have a fever I figured I would just wait it out. She doesnt seem uncomfortable or anything. But I just read some things about RSV on here and now Im freaking out. What do you girls think? Im a first time mom so not sure if Im overreacting or not.

At that age and with rsv being a thing this year, yes i would take her just to have peace of mind. It may very well be nothing, but she is so tiny.

DS was always congested and sneezing all the time at that age, its totally normal, but if you're really worried I would call the ped.

DS was also sneezing at that time, but not congested..

i agree w statement above - if you have any thought, call the ped - this time of year and with all viruses and stiff going aroudn - its better to be safe and call/see ped..

hope your little one feels better!!
