A member asked:

My baby cried a lot yesterday and started coughing today... is it perhaps from a sore throat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wouldn't assume so: Babies cry for no specific reason & they can become raspy from vocal cord overuse. They usually cough because of airborne irritants/smoke/dust/fragrances/etc. that fill their environment or to expel mucus.
