Runny Noses & Teething…Related?

My son is getting his first tooth, which reminds me of an experience we had a while ago. When my son was first born, we had a neighbor come to visit with her runny-nosed child. The mother assured me that he wasn’t sick, just teething. THIS IS BALONEY. I asked my doctor about that and she said it just wasn’t true. A runny nose is not a symptom of teething, it is a symptom of sickness.
Because my son was born almost three weeks early and was very small, I was obviously concerned about his not getting sick. It is a kind gesture to visit your neighbor after she’s had a baby, but please please please don’t take your sick children with you! A runny nose is a runny nose and is not caused by teething.

I’ve read and been told from a Doctor that nasal congestion isn’t a sign of teething, but with my 2-1/2 year old it was a sign! With EVERY tooth she would get nasal congestion 2 days prior and the day it poked through she’d be over the congestion. She always had this sign and no one around her ever had a cold (she was not in daycare and breastfed)!
I agree i have a 6 1/2 month old and she is constantly snotty. I asked my gp and he said some baby’s are just like that. She is also obviously teething. She is also breastfed and never in day cares.
