Brief Answer:
What is her temperature? No urgent need for a physician visit now!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about the cold your baby has. The most common cause of colds are viruses and resolution is often spontaneous without the need of any specific medical intervention. All that is done is to make sure we treat any symptom like blocked nostrils, fever, etc. and the body will address the rest. There is no need for any urgent visits to the hospital. I will recommend that you measure her temperature and report to me. As long as she can eat well, stay playful and not cry often, all is okay.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
