A member asked:
Does a 2 year old with a dry cough, who is playing happily and no fever or other symptoms warrant a doctors visit?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I wouldn't: A simple cough is just a protective reflex designed to bring up phlegm, dust or other inhaled debris from deep in the lung. Unless it is paired with a change in the kids level of activity, fever, loss of appetite or other symptom that would suggest a real illness, I would just monitor the process.
