Suggest Treatment For Runny Nose And Cough

My 4 month old daughter has her first cold (i think) she has had a runny/stuffy nose and a slight cough. Has a hard time drinking a bottle as her nose is so plugged and today the snot has turned green however it is no longer coming out of her nose it s coming out of her eye. About every hour her eye is matted shut with green discharge can the mucus from a cold come out of her eye? I have a Dr. appt for her 4 month check up tomorrow afternoon but didn t know if I should take her in sooner. She is not running a fever and she is eating a little and sleeps a little wakes up often due to the fact she is so plugged up.

Hello,
Welcome to the HCM
Brief ..It is chlamydia or neissaria gonorrehea infection.
Detailed answer...Since I have gone through your daughter's history,it seems that she has got either one of above mentioned bacterial infection.For that she needs to be swab test done first and antibiotic course for 2 weeks after discussing with your doctor.As it can cause visual problem,she needs to be seen by doctor as soon as possible.
Thankyou for your quiry.
