My 9 month old daughter may have a cold or maybe a bacterial infection in her throat, at least that's what I Googled but I just need opinions here. What she does is she looks like she's choking for a second then her eyes water and then she begins to cough, she hasn't gotten sick yet and it's been 6 years since I have had a baby with a cold so I'm not sure if I should take her to the Dr. today or wait until Friday when her 9 month old check up is. I was wondering what you all thought this might be and if you think I should take her in right away or see how she is by her appointment on Friday. Thank you!
So I called Dr. office to see what they say, just waiting on a Nurse to call me back, Thanks to you guys for showing me that what I was planning on doing would be the right thing!
She could have post nasal drip, acid reflux, or something else entirely. If it were me, I would call the nurse and ask them, and then get an appointment. Since she is so little, I wouldn't wait to see the doctor.
At that age, I'd at the very least call, talk to the nurse, and ask what they recommend I do -- bring her now or wait until Friday. But usually, they want to see them under a year. The choking worries me because I'd be worried it was an allergic reaction -- probably not, but at that age, you don't have a whole lot of health history to base it on.
Make sure you keep checking her temp. If she gets a fever, you really need to get her checked.
Good luck, Mom!

Sounds like teething.
