See Your Doctor NOW: In babies, distinguishing between cough with upper respiratory infection vs. more serious such as Pneumonia is difficult to make without examination. Signs & symptoms are unreliable at this age & it is easy to miss cues that alert to worsening condition. Also fever may or may not be present. A 'wait & see' approach is dangerous. See your baby's doctor NOW for correct diagnosis and prompt treatment
