My 6 month old has rsv and when i give him breathing treatments he coughs a lot but can't get it up..what can i do to help him cough it up?

Rsv: Try chest percussion to help him bring up the mucus.You may have to have your doctor show you how.

Mgt: At this age babies are not able to spit out sputum. They typically will swallow their secretions. If the cough worsens, or if he seems to be having problems breathing, a follow up appt is indicated. RSV can linger, but mild cases typically resolve within 10 days.
