Suggest Treatment For Reflux,colic And Rhinovirus In 4 Week Old

My 4 week old who has reflux and colic has been very sleepy today and seems less interested in food. We also found out she has rhinovirus. Should I bring her back to the emergency room? We were there 3 days ago because she was not keeping her food down. They did blood work and urine and nasal secretion analysis, thats how we know about the rhinovirus.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Colic and reflux are common in newborns. No special medications are needed. Propoer burping and feeding techniques will resolve her problem over the next few weeks. It is good if she is exclusively breastfed. Rhinovirus can be an incidental finding. Without breathing or feeding difficulties, it doesnt carry much significance.
