My 12 month old daughter has been really congested for the past week , runny nose, wet cough, fevers going from 101 to 104 , diarrhea and this morning she woke up with an Orange discharge from her one eye. Does she need to be seen again? I took her to the Drs three days ago and he said there s nothing wrong.

Hi... looks like a viral illness. Don't worry about orange discharge.
Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in children. For cold you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do.
