Take her to the doctor?

Laura is 5 months and has been coughing, sneezing, and tugging on her ears the past few days (she doesn't cry or act like it hurts). Under her eyes is puffy and she's been extra sleepy/cuddly BUT has a lower than normal temperature. So should she go to the doctor or let her work it out?

Is she teething?

Quoting Pirate Hooker {BAMW}:" Is she teething?"

In general yes, she hasn't acted like it's been bugging her the last few days though.

It may be her teeth.
Heathen would fiddle with her ears when her teeth were coming in.
BUT
you are her mother, and know her better than anyone else.

It could be allergies too. My daughter had them when she was first born. Certain scents, perfumes, flowers, etc would make her have cold symptoms and puffy eyes. The baby is probably rubbing them due to the itchy feeling.

I think it's just allergies, I'm just afraid it may turn into a sinus infection because of how she's been tugging at her ears. I just don't want her to wake up miserable tomorrow and I can't get her into a doctor until Monday, ya know?

I hope she gets better. my allergys have been acting up today too

Watch out for ear infections too.

If she starts tugging on her ears and crying a lot then she could have an ear infection. Honestly I'd just get it checked out regardless. Hope she feels better! ):

I'd take her in just to make sure there isn't something else going on. Peyton was fussy, had a fever, was rubbing his eyes, and tugging on his ears and it was just him teething along with the fact that he just "found" his ears so he was tugging on them. I still took him in to make sure it wasn't an ear infection or something else. Gave me a piece of mind.

Thanks guys! She's been coughing/sneezing less and hasn't been tugging on her ears nearly as much. We're just keeping an eye on her but she seems to be just fine. She's still her talkative, crazy self =]
