Cough: This could be the flu or another viral illness. It could also be a bacterial illness such as strep throat or even pneumonia. I recommend you consult with your doctor so the correct diagnosis can be made and the appropriate treatment plan implemented.

My 3 year old daughter has had flu on and off for the last 3 weeks and now it's become a chesty cough which is more prominent in the evening. She coughs then vomits and then she sleeps for the rest of the evening. No fever, or sore throat.
