My 13 year old had a fever and a cough that is sometimes long and high pitched she is also coughing up white clear phlegm what is it? doctor or not?

Doctor, yes: Most coughs with colds improve by 7-10 days. A prolonged cough, especially if it high pitched and long could be pertussis or other lower respiratory infection.
