A member asked:
What can i do if my baby has a cough, would day old paint fumes have caused this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible..: Environmental irritants can indeed cause a cough. Baby airways are very sensitive, so things that don't bother you can still bother them. If possible, air out the house today, make sure there is adequate humidity in baby's environment, and if not improving over the next couple of days or new associated symptoms like fever, then see your doc.
