A member asked:
Should i be concerned if my 16 month old son has a bad cold & caugh-major mucus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Cough is a common symptom & the AAP currently recommends not giving cough suppressants to children under 4 years of age. Coughs may be associated with many different things, including allergy, illness, asthma, smoke exposure, & others. If your child has cough for more than 10 days, associated with persistent nasal congestion, sinusitis should be considered. It may be worth a trip to see your Dr
