What Causes Green Nasal Discharge In An Infant Suffering From Cold?
My 1 year old son has been fighting off a cold. He doesn t have a temperature (37 degrees) but woke up this morning with green snot. It isn t running anymore like it has been all week when it was clear. And seems to have a phleme cough but doesn t bring anything up. Not sure if I should go to the GP for them to tell me to keep going what I m doing.
