Myths and Facts about Colds and Congestion

By Robert Dabrow, MD, FAAP, Medical Director

What causes cough, runny nose, and other common cold symptoms? A viral infection usually causes these symptoms. Many viruses can live and grow inside your nose, mouth, throat, or bronchioles and cause cold symptoms.

What are some symptoms of the common cold? Sneezing, coughing, sniffling, and runny nose. You occasionally may have a sore throat and chest congestion.

Why does my child always have a runny nose? Children in daycare have an average of 6 colds/year. Colds usually last longer in children, up to 10 days, but some children have symptoms for up to 2 weeks.

When do I need to see the pediatrician? Most people with colds do not need to see a doctor or nurse. But you should call our office if you have any of the following: Chronic runny or stuffy nose that does not get better after two weeks; severe red eyes or yellow-green discharge coming out of their eyes; or painful ear or head pain. If a cough or fever lasts longer than ten days, it is a good idea to be examined.

How can I tell if I have a cold or the flu? The common cold and the flu both cause many of the same symptoms. But they also have some important differences. A common cold causes severe nasal congestion, mild cough, and fever, usually without other symptoms. The Flu causes
extremely high fevers and fatigue with aches and pains, usually followed by a runny nose, cough, and congestion.

How can I keep from getting another cold? The most important thing you can do is to wash your hands often with soap and water. Alcohol hand rubs work well, too. The germs that cause the common cold can live on tables, door handles, and other surfaces for at least 2 hours. You never know when you might be touching germs. That’s why it’s so important to clean your hands.

What clients are saying ...

Dr Bob has been seeing my twins since they got out of the NICU and we love him. Very attentive, very nice, knowledgeable and understanding.

We recently moved so now it takes us up to 45 minutes to get there when it used to take us 15 minutes but we’ll never change doctors.

The office is always clean and the staff is super nice, highly recommended

I love Celebration Pediatrics. The office staff is so kind and always willing to accommodate me when I need a last minute appointment or to reschedule. The doctors and nurses are also incredible.

My family loves Dr. Anwer, he is a remarkable doctor. You can tell he is very passionate about his career and genuinely loves his patients which is so important. He doesn’t treat my kids like just another patient but instead takes his time to ask questions and really understand our concerns.

I really could not recommend this office and Doctor enough!

This was our first visit with this center, and it was incredible, the registration was fast, the waiting time to go to the room was short, and the best of all this was the wonderful treatment of Dr. Toma with our daughter was incredible

Our daughter said for the first time that she loved going to the doctor and that the doctor was very funny and kind to her, and like a parents made us feel safe, she explained everything to us, the treatment towards us was wonderful, recommended a thousand percent,

Dr. Toma is wonderful. Amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic doctors, nurses, and staff! Patient, listen, educate, answer every question, and spend adequate time with each patient.

I have found that the doctors at this location are intelligent and educated in a wide realm of topics which makes the experience much richer, especially when it is your first child!

Quick to get patients a visit when needed and we usually don’t wait more than 5-10 min to be seen.

We are very happy and pleased to have found this place for our girls. We have recently moved from another state and the transition to this office was very smooth.

The staff was so helpful in making sure that the needed records for our girls were obtained from our prior provider. Our girls also loved the visit with NP Janil.

Would highly recommend this office.
K. Abegail Faleiros - March 28, 2022
We had our first newborn appointment at the practice and felt so comfortable. Monica was very easy to talk to and eased some of our little worries as first time parents.

She was patient, sweet, and very knowledgeable!

We left our appointment feeling very secure and with the practice that we chose!
