Nasty Cough: Any child above the age of six months that has had continuous symptoms for more than three days definitely needs to see their pediatrician! under the age of six months even sooner. Bronchiolitis, flu, allergies and even foreign body aspiration could be going on. Make an appointment to see your pediatrician asap!
