My 5 month old has had a runny nose and coughing for about two weeks....the coughing had went away but is back and worse now. He throws up when he coughs sometimes and this morning he woke up coughing and crying all at the same time. I took him to the Dr last week and the Doc said it was just a virus.....should I take him to Childrens Hospital????
If the cough went away them came back he may have developed a secondary infection (bacterial). Sure sign is if the goo coming off his chest is milky or yellow/greenish. In which case he'll need antibiotics.
