What Causes Cold, Fever And Nasal Congestion In Child?
My 3 year old has what seems like a simple head cold with a low fever, nasal congestion and mild caugh. Yesterday afternoon both of her eyes started getting goopy, when she woke up this morning her eyes seemed to have cleared up. Then, this evening they started getting goopy again. There isn't much redness in her eye, just around the outsides of them. What could this be????
