My son started having squealing coughing fits yesterday. I've looked on YouTube and can't find any 'real' coughs that are remotely similar. He doesn't have a fever, phlegm or any other signs of illness. He hasn't been getting as much attention lately and I'm wondering if he's doing it to get some. It's basically a squeal mixed with a cough and when he does it a few times it must irritate his throat because it brings on an actual coughing fit. He's done it on and off for about 45 mins today. Seeing Dr tomorrow but wondering if anyone has any advice on how to tell if it's true or fake??
