A member asked:
My 9 month old son recently had pneumonia and finished his antibiotics just under a week ago but still has a chesty cough, runny nose is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cough: The cough may linger on for a few days especially with your child' post nasal drip. Use salt water nose drops several times a day, use a vaporizer and have him sleep on an elevated mattress. Push fluids but avoid milk.
