I hope its "just" a cough, the normal sort. If its worse tomorrow, ring around and explain the situation, if it is whooping cough he needs to be seen. I had whooping cough as an adult and its hard on your system, but it has a whooping sound to the cough once it gets going. Croup sounds like a seal barking almost. Hope your little man is okay. It can so worrying when the littles get sick.
You can call nurse on call and get them to listen to your son coughing through the phone - they will be able to hear if it is whooping cough. When your DS coughs, it will sound like a 'whoop' on the end if it is whooping cough, hence the name. I know we thought DD had whooping cough & called nurse on call and she said no, it sounded more like croup or asthma (it was asthma).....
