    Question Recurring Cough

    Since Blue was 4 months he's had 2 bouts of croup (one hossy job) and a bout of bronchialitis which they gave him ab's for and he finished them about a week or so ago...

    The cough persisted for a while but then buggered off...

    Saturday night it came back complete with runny nose.....

    It's a really phlegmy, chesty cough that is so violent he gets his whole body in on the action - but other than that he's perfectly happy and still feeding really well.

    Should I be worried?

    Hi RFM08
    no I haven't taken him to the doc yet for this one as it only started Sat night.
    He isn't grumpy or anything like that and as he only finished ab's a week ago I wasn't sure if they will even do anything ...

    poor lil man. I would be taking him to the doc. That seems to be alot for a baby to be sick that often.

    Dee we too have had a shocking time the last few months. It has been cough after cough for 5 months now. Our babies are so little, their immune system is just developing, it is pretty normal that they will catch lots of coughs and colds. Lu has been sick for 3 weeks, on ABs for a chest infection and now has a nasty chesty cough like you describe. If he is otherwise happy i'd ride it out. But, as always if you are concerned you should go to the drs.

    Sas has had a chesty cough since she was born, she has it even if she doesn't have a cold. So i got a referral to a paed and i'm taking her on Friday. Perhaps if you are concerned you could do the same..

    All this coughing is driving me up the wall! Hope Blue's is better soon.
