Colds, Coughs and Ear Infections

Colds are common for children, they can catch 8 or more colds per year. Most colds get better in 5-7 days. 

Coughing helps clear the body's airways. Children often cough when they have a cold to clear their chest or throat. A cough with other symptoms (high temperature or breathlessness) can be a symptom of chest infection, bronchitis, pneumonia or asthma. 

Most ear infections are caused by viruses and often follow a cold. Ear infections can cause earache and a high temperature.
