Should I Be Concerned If My 10 Weeks Old Has Developed A Cough?
Hello
my baby is 10.5 weeks old and has developed a cough. he is also sneezing and sometimes I hear a wheezing sound when he is breathing like a "cat purring".I have checked his temperature and he has no fever 36.5.
should I be heading to Emergency?
his cough started 5 days ago and seems to be getting worse.
Please help

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your concern for your kid, the cough in pediatric age group are mostly self limiting and only needs treatment when infection is there, otherwise conservative management gives good result, and includes hydration care, diet care, try pure honey once in day, if the cough persistence for days then this should be brought to investigation, hope this information helps you have nice day.
