A. To determine if a cough and cold in children is normal or indicative of a viral infection, consider these signs: 1. Duration: A normal cold typically lasts 5-7 days. Prolonged symptoms may suggest a viral infection. 2. Symptoms: Look for fever, persistent cough, difficulty breathing, or wheezing, which can indicate a viral infection. 3. Severity: If your child is lethargic, has trouble feeding, or shows signs of dehydration, consult a pediatrician. Always err on the side of caution and seek medical advice if you're unsure.
