A member asked:

Should i be concerned if my 14 month old woke up with a chesty type cough. no fever should i run to the dr?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fluids/monitor: This is something you can probably monitor at home. If baby has playful times/fluid intake enough to wet diapers every 6hr/breathing not too noticable suggests home care is ok. Lack of play/noticable incresed work to breathe/poor fluid intake all suggest a dr visit in order.Nasal saline helps keep the nose clear ; tylenol (acetaminophen) as a comfort med may help.
