My 14 week old (born full term, exclusively breast-fed) and I have a trip planned to visit a friend in Charlotte this weekend, staying 4 days. Last Tuesday, my friend's 7 month old developed a low grade fever with a wet cough and congestion. The fever only lasted a few hours, but she's had lingering wet cough and congestion for a week now and it's been getting better every day.
After visiting her pediatrician today, my friend's pediatrician says it's just a cold but the cough could last weeks.
Is it safe to assume that once we see them, since it'll be 9 days since symptoms first appeared, that she is no longer contagious? Or is it a bad idea to continue with the trip?
