Cough

My 5 month old has just recently (today) had a slightly wet cough. For the last couple of days he would randomly have a dry cough but I noticed today that it slightly sounds mucous-y. The last three days his appetite had decreased but was normal all day today. And he hasn’t shown any signs of difficulty breathing. I’m going to call his pediatrician in the morning but have any of y’all’s baby’s had anything similar? Is there anything we can do to help it?

Yep. Had that 3 times in 3 months... dr just said to use saline solution for his nose and to watch him... I hope you get better answers from your dr.

When this happened to my daughter they recommended saline drops and suctioning her nose every so often until they could get her in for an appointment. Also i ran a humidifier as well it helped me a lot.
