My son has some sort of cold, what is it? see details, please?

Hey There!

I believe your son has the common cold, also known as an upper respiratory infection (URI), is an infection of the nose and throat, the "upper" parts of our breathing system (respiratory tract).

A cold is caused by many different viruses, which are spread from person to person through direct contact. For example, a person can be exposed to a virus when he touches his eyes or nose, after shaking hands with an infected person or when he is "splashed" by the tiny droplets that come out when an infected person sneezes or coughs. Once someone is exposed, the virus usually enters the body through the eyes or nose, and causes stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat, hoarse voice, cough and fever.

Colds usually are mild illnesses that get better within one or two weeks. However, even mild symptoms can make children feel miserable. This guide will give you information about different ways to treat your child's cold symptoms.

Coughing helps to clear mucous from the airways but can be uncomfortable for your child. Besides irritating the throat and making it sore, coughing can keep your child up at night, adding to their misery.

There are things you can do to decrease your child's coughing, runny nose.

All kids are different, but green snot usually means infection. Does he have fever? You will want to treat the symptoms he is having. A simple blood test can determine if it is a bacterial infection or a viral infection. If bacterial, they will probably give an antibiotic. If viral, keep treating the symptoms.

It sounds like a infection. Are the corner of his eyes red? Could be red eye.

Kids pick up so many different things, see what the doctor says tomorrow.

Good luck!

It's probably a upper repository cold (Head Cold)

Some ppl react differently to these types of colds

Just watch for fever that most important

Good Luck

Could be a multitude of things. Kids are always runny nose and slobbery in the winter as they're always sick.
