Is It Advisable For A Child To Go Out Swimming When Having A Cold?
my 2 year old son has had a cold for about 5-6 days, hes just getting over it, i went to the doctors on tuesday and he said it is just a common cold, no ear or throat infection or temperature. He seems to be almost over it now too. My question is is it ok to go swimming with him today?

Hi..you can happily allow him to go for swimming. Swimming is in no way related to common cold - which is basically a viral illness.
