Baby with a cough?

Question

Should we take him to an urgent clinic today?
Wait and make an appointment Monday
Or wait until he runs a fever/ shows signs that it's more than just a cough
It started 4th of July. 3 months old

Answer

If he’s having difficulty breathing, has a wet cough, a whoop sounding cough, or runs a high fever I would take him in. Otherwise I’d wait. Babies get common colds like adults and there’s not much anyone can do - almost no medicine available for them. We gave our son the Zarabees cough syrup that’s for babies (no honey in it) and it seemed to help.

Answer

You can get it checked out by his pediatrician just to be on the safe side. I second the zarbees line. Also I started using a humidifier for my daughter.
