Think my lo is getting her first cold!

[Jynann]

Morning ladies,

My lo is 5 months old and has not been ill once (touch wood!) but yesterday she seemed a little bit snotty but was generally ok, then this morning I have got up and she was really snotty she sounded like a pig (i know that sounds really bad but it's the only way I can describe it lol) and when she tried to sniff up her snot (sorry if tmi) she has a little cough cus it must be going down her throat. She has no temp and seems ok in herself although a bit quieter than normal. Do you think she is getting a cold or could it be her teeth? She has been teething on and off for weeks and weeks but no teeth as yet and I thought that when teething is bad they get a snotty nose?? Does anyone know if this is right? She is quite dribbly too and chewing her lip.
I'm worried also cause our friends are having a joint birthday party at our house on say night and kayleigh is suppose to be going to grannies and I don't want to send her if she is ill, I know grannie will just say "she will be fine, I can handle a poorly baby" but I don't think i could leave her if she is ill

Unfortunately the cold is on the warpath at the mo. We started off like that and now she has an awful runny nose, and screams when i try and wipe it.
It's not nice but all you can really do is give calpol if temp rises. That's all i've ever been told anyway.
