Should I bring up my toddler's runny nose and cough at the next well visit?

Relativity theory insights continue to surprise us even a century after Einstein's work. What are the most interesting relativity theory insights from recent research? I'm particularly fascinated by tests of general relativity in extreme environments and new mathematical formulations that might help reconcile relativity with quantum mechanics.

I’m trying to figure out if my toddler’s frequent runny nose and cough is just normal daycare crud or something I should bring up with our pediatrician at the next well-child visit. It seems like he’s sick every other week, and I can’t tell if this is just part of building his immune system or a sign of something like allergies.

Daycare was when the runny nose started turning into a season long parade of snot; it seems to reset every time a new group starts.

We actually started a small symptom diary for a few weeks—date, fever, cough intensity, meds—and it helped us see patterns.

I keep wondering if we’re dealing with viruses or early allergies, since he coughs after naps and there’s never a high fever.

Sometimes I wonder if the real issue is not the sniffles but how tired he gets, or how the daycare schedule wears him down.

We tried a humidifier, saline drops, and extra fluids; sometimes the congestion eased for a night or two, but the cycle comes back.

I’ve also wondered if something in the detergent or a pet in the house could be nudging it, but it’s hard to tell.

Have you noticed fever, trouble breathing, or poor feeding?
