A member asked:
When my 9 month old baby cries he will begin to cough, is this normal? sometimes it seems like it takes his breath away.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some babies or: children have very sensitive cough and gag reflexes and may be triggered by very benign things like crying. As long as there is no wheezing, difficulty breathing or color change, this doesn't sound like anything too concerning in and of itself. However, if it persists, you may want to discuss this with your child's pediatrician.
