Doctor can recheck: The seasonal flu is very contagious inside a group of people. Thus, in one family where all are sick, there is almost no way a baby (who requires care by others) will escape it. One can still try, meaning wear masks and wash hands before caring for the baby. A baby or toddler with persistent symptoms should be rechecked to see how his general condition is doing, and especially how the lungs are.

Chronic cough: Chest radiograph and testing for infection is suggested. TB is one possible cause of prolonged cough. Asthma is another cause but should improved with steroids and inhalers.
