Fever and cough help

My son (9 months old) has had a fever and cough since Sunday...saw the dr early mon morning bc he had a well appt, dr said everything looked good...fever today was 101.6 this morning, and 101.5 just now....he also has loose stools and tons of congestion in his nose...All he wants to do the past 3 days is lay on me---I know behavior is most important...

Im nervous with pnemonia going around...I also dont want to bring him in and expose him to anything else...but nervous that its lasting this long...would you bring him in today, or see what tomorrow brings?

ETA: Also not eating that great...didnt drink his last bottle at all last night...had had 3 bottles today and drank a total of 8 oz...he is having wet diapers

Re: Fever and cough help

I would wait one more day because a virus can last a few days...DD had the croup and now she has the same thing you are describing minus the loose stools I am waiting until tomorrow and if she is still not better I will call the dr in the morning GL
