He has had alittle cough for the past week or so, he has no temp, no runny nose. I have a little cold right now, do you think he is just get a bit of my cold? He is still his happy little self but with a cough that I hear about 5 times or so a day. my health visitor said there is nothing to worry about. Will it just go away?

My daughter sometimes used to get a slight cough when she was teething, because they produce excess saliva when they teethe and this can cause a cough apparently. If it was anything more serious like croup, then you would recognise it as a barking type cough and a steamy room is really useful for this, but it sounds like nothing to worry about. as always, just keep your eye out for any other symptoms and always speak to your Health Visitor or GP if you are worried – that's what they are there for.

It sounds like he's fine. Maybe he just has a dry or tickly throat. make sure he has plenty of water to drink and try humidifying the room a bit more. you can either buy a machine to put in his room overnight or sit with him in a steamy room for a little while every so often. That's what we do, if either of the children has a cough we sit in the bathroom with the shower running for 10 minutes. it loosens the airways.

it will either just go away or he will develop a cold. either way, not really something to worry about. if it does develop into a cold just keep him hydrated and give him tylenol to break his fever. my son just got over a cold and i was really worried the whole time, doc said i was doing everything right and that it just takes time…

Yes it will just go away. There is nothing you can really do to a baby at a young age unless it gets worse. They just tell you to ride it out and keep an eye on them! it will go away.

It could be seasonal allergies, but I doubt it.

Just keep an eye on him really.

i would take baby to doc anyway, could be your cold, reflux, or something else entirely.

Normally the health care provider knows best. He should be fine but if he gets any other signs I would take him back to see the Dr.

yes listen to your health visitor.

He will be okay. use a humidifier in the room or take him in the bathroom with the hot water going for about 20 minutes.

yeah he's fine! just you wait till the runny nose kicks in!! lasts for years!! my 3 yr old has a runny nose and cough for a few weeks now! its just the immune system learning to fight and cope with bugs! common in toddlers

may have caught your cold , or sometimes when they begin to teethe they may get a lil cough! If you are still worried call your doctor!
