A member asked:
My 20 week old has been coughing quite a bit, when should we head to the doc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Coughing: Coughing in a 5 month old can be due to any number of reasons but mainly a viral upper respiratory infection. Concerning in a infant of this age would be chronic non-improving cough, increased breathing rate, retractions (sucking in of chest wall), cyanosis (blueness) or just plain parental concerns. Please see your pediatrician.
