Common Cough And Cold

A common cold is a viral infection of the nose and throat. Most children recover with rest, fluids and time.

In the hills, one cold can follow another all winter. We help you know what is ordinary, what is allergy, and what is turning into a chest infection.

Understand

What we explain in clinic

Usual course

3–7 days

Runny nose, mild fever, sneeze and a cough that slowly dries.

What helps

Home

Breastfeeds or sips, saline drops, sitting upright and a smoke-free room.

Watch the chest

Shift

Faster breathing or a cough that worsens after day five needs a check.

What not to do

Avoid

Adult cough syrups, leftover antibiotics and steam that is too hot for toddlers.

Evaluation

What we look for

Exam

Rule out

We make sure ears, throat and chest are not hiding something more.

Feeding

Energy

Small frequent feeds keep strength up even when appetite dips.

School

Return

Once fever settles and the child is playful, school can resume.

If monthly

Pattern

Monthly ‘colds’ without fever may actually be allergic rhinitis.

At Grace Clinic

How care is planned

01

Listen first

We take a full history — onset, feeding, fever, sleep, school and any earlier reports.

02

Examine & chart

Growth, chest, tummy, skin and development are checked. Tests are advised only if they change care.

03

Treat & follow

A clear home plan is given, with a review so we know the child is settling.

When to book

Book if fever is high after day three, breathing is fast, or a baby under three months has any cold with poor feeding.
