Not sure if I've cause for concern. It seemed to start with a cold (cough & sneezing) and a snotty schnoz! But he can't seem to shake the runny nose.. Some days it's worse than others.. Some days it's clear and a constant stream other it's green and incredibly crusty! Is it hay fever? What could it be?

Go to GP me thinks
I am a photographer for a large nursery chain and I an assure you that ALL the kids are continually snotty. I usually have a continuous throat or cold!
I would not worry personally.
Green, crusty, globby, clear, runny, yup that's kids!

Well, thanks for that ^^^^ image!
\\\\Not sure if I've cause for concern.\\\

No you haven't.

\\\\Is it hay fever?\\\

No.

\\\What could it be?\\\

Almost certainly a virus infection (cold)

You can "tough it out" OR go to the chemist for saline nose drops and use as directed.

How long do colds normally last? Thanks for your answers x
Providing that they don't get another one.......maybe 2 or 3 weeks at least. Remember that a baby's nasal passages are very narrow and there may well be a degree of obstruction due to adenoid enlargement.

Be patient.
How do you know it isn't hay fever sqad? My youngest got it very young- although he did have irritated eyes too.
pixie....matter of probability...........hay fever is unusual in the very young.
Common colds are commoner.
Common things occur commonest.
Thanks sqad. That sounds just like Gregory House! :-)
pixie...you make a good point and i am not trying to "rubbish it".......honest.
No problem, sqad. I love House. It's a compliment really.
