she had been doing her "not well" cry for the past half an hour as she cant cry out properly as she either got a sore throat or is full of phelgm at the back of her throat but she still happy and playful though

BUT i want to go out to see mum today as we've arranged to go xmas shopping but im just thinking on baba. She is looking alot better and not as snotty as she was yesterday and her nose is slighty red today as before she had a bright red nose to match her cheeks as she is teething badly aswell (her 3 molars are coming thru!)

should i stay in or go out? as ive been taking her out everyday for a walk for fresh air, apart from sat when she was really bad.

i will buy some medised med for her cough to shift her phelgm.

I wuold go out with her if you can wrap her up warmly

medised wont shift the phlegm. If she's got a pain use calpol/nurofen unless you want to drug her to sleep.

how old is she?
personally I would probably go and see my mum but probably not go christmas shopping unless you are desperate

yeah ive been using Calpol and now im on the 2nd bottle as she had 3 different cold in 8 weeks!!! - i feel sorry for the poor baba (she had been to the docs 3 times and there is nothing on her chest just a viral infection and tar at the back of her throat that been there for 8 weeks but cant seems to shift it) - she is 13 mths old.... it was snowing out there 5 mins ago too!
