Calm down!
So, the doctor says there's nothing wrong...there probably isn't. It may be allergies...maybe a cold....Either way, nothing to worry about. You can't really take anything for a cold other than an OTC cold medicine to ease the symptoms, pretty much the same for hayfever/allergies (very common this time of year). Children's Tylenol should help ease the symptoms if she's really uncomfortable. Otherwise, let it run it's course.

sneezing is normal just something in the air, dust or mits or something. have u used anything new that has fragrances. laundry soap,cleaners,air freshener, hair stuff, new carpet, painting. get some saline solution for noses for kids to help dry up the runny nose. it is nothing. remember the Dr has a PhD when to school for yrs and even a few more to specialize in pediatrics. yeah some are wrong, but mostly not. its like a common cold. would u go to the Dr for a cold and miss work and etc. the cold is catching so maybe that is what it is.

I don't believe it is a cold, as one generally doesn't feel well when they have one, and you don't say whether your child has "slowed down" or not. I have a 7 year old boy who sneezes alot and it is caused by too much dust. I'm not a perfect housekeeper, not dirty, just dusty. He reacts very strongly with sneezing often several times in a row. He doesn't act sick though, and that is the way I know he's not sick. When your child is ill you can generally tell by how they behave, like with no energy, no get up and go, etc. Follow you mommy instincts. They're a gift. Gool luck!

Are you sure that they are not just experienceing allergies to something? A runny nose and sneezing could mean more than just a cold.
You may just have to ride it out and see...Keep track of her temperature and any other symptoms she may show over the next few days. Maybe this is the onset of something and the doctor jsut couldn't see anything wrong yet.

Maybe a common cold or allergies. Try an over the counter allergy/sold medication. One intended for runny noses etc. As long as there is no fever, vomiting etc. do not become too concerned. Be sure she drinks plenty of fluids.

Don't worry. It could just be a little bit of the flu. If the doctor said nothing is wrong, she and your husband should be fine. There is nothing you can really do but give them medicine. If it worsens or you catch it or there are really bad side effects happening --- Contact your doctor. But really, you have nothing to be worrying about.

the doctor said nothing was wrong? hmm, this is nothing to worry about. :) a runny nose and sneezing are symptoms of a cold. i highly doubt that she's alergic to anything, so just give her some cold medicine.^^
