my sister-in-law's son is also 3mths old and even he had cold 2weeks back.cause she stays with us i know how much difficulty he had breathing,and even he'd cry a lot,so we took him to the doc,the doc gave a nasal soloution which is nothing but salt water and asked her to the baby a lil steam inhalation after putting those drops,believe me in just few days it got cleared.personally i feel you should show it the doc,cause babies really find it hard to breathe with cold.good luck.

I am a mother of 3 small children. And yes, unfortunately this will happen often. Really there is nothing you can do, unless she has a fever. It is best to make her comfortable. Also, with being so young you should take her to the doctor. It may be nothing but we are just mothers not doctors. Best of Luck and I hope she feels better soon.
