Children should see a Doctor if they are significantly unwell. This is judged by problems such as breathing difficulties, drowsiness, pain or poor intake rather than having a fever or cough. Cough syrups are generally of no assistance.
If a child is mildly unwell, resting at home without seeing a Doctor is acceptable
