Is swimming safe while child has cough, cold and wheezy chest?
Patient: I have a (recently turned)2 year old who have a tendency to suffer from coughs and colds and wheezy chests. She has got anther cold, has been coughing, is full of mucus and is clearly not 100%. We have recently started swimming lessons (in quite a cold pool) and are due to go this morning. Not sure if I should take her or not? She wants to go! Doctor: Hi,It is better not to go for swimming lessons for few days till she becomes alright.There are all chances of having more infection.There are chances of spreading infection to others who are swimming as well.Ok and take care.
