Virtual appointment: A virtual appointment with Healthtap or an appointment with your pediatrician is recommended. If his illness began as a viral illness, the cough may be due to bronchospasm, and other causes such as a sinus infection and post nasal drip should be considered. Rinse nasal passages with saline and encourage fluids. Monitor his temperature and please follow up.A chest image may be indicated.
