Would U leave for a 3 day trip if your child got a cold the night before?

We plan on leaving Saturday and not coming back until Tuesday. Tonight my daughter caught either a cold or allergies. It happened right when we got home from shopping for food for our trip. She started sneezing and said her nose was stuffy. She cried for an hour after I gave her some stuff called "Little Noses" nose drops, then she finally fell asleep. No fever. We have already paid for the resort we are staying at (5 hours away). If it were you would you go anyway?

Yeah i probably would if she felt better. but u do have a couple days for her to get better anyway. wait and see how she feels friday when she gets up. also if she continues taking medicine then it will begin working pretty fast. and no fever then most likely she just has an allergy so dont worry.

i dont have children but i have 4 other brothers and sisters. I would say yea that you should go..just leave the child with its grandmother. They usually take good care of their grandchildren.

Go. I doubt you are leaving your child home alone. Someone is obviously going to be there to care of her in your absence.

dont put no trip b4 your child! now if she is better the day of,then go ahead,but if she is not then post-pone yo trip! dont make it seem like its allergies it might be something worst,just cuzz you paid 4 it so what! kids come first!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I would go. I had the same type of thing happend to me in April with my 12-month-old. He started vomiting and had diarrhea the day before we were supposed to leave on a 16-hour road trip. I took him to my pediatrician who looked him over and said he just had a 24-hour thing. She said, "he can have diarrhea at home, and he can have diarrhea on a trip. It makes no difference to him so you might as well make the best of it and go have fun."

We decided to go and he vomited once in the car and had diarrhea everytime he ate something, even just a bottle. It sounds like a nightmare and it makes for a funny vacation story but it really wasn't that bad. He got through it and we ended up having a wonderful vacation.

So, basically, your daughter can have a cold at home or a cold on a vacation. The trip will probably be a great distraction from her symptoms and the excitement might just tire her out enough that she zonks out at the end of the day and goes to sleep despite her stuffiness.

Have a wonderful trip and good luck!

take her. She will be fine. It makes no sense not to because if you don't go she will feel better Sunday and you will just be grumpy that you missed out on such a fun family trip. Take her she will feel better. She has no fever so go and have FUN

Yes, as long as they arent alone.
