A member asked:

My 12 mo old just got her shots and 2 days later woke up coughing and has chest congestion could it be from the shots?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: I am not aware of any shots having cough as a potential complication. 1 year olds get lots of colds this time of year. It's probably not related.

Dr Ferguson and another doctor agreed
