Worth calling Pedi? WDYT?

MelissaMc22

Jackson woke up Sunday with a slight cough. It's a wet cough, not too frequent but has lasted all week. Otherwise he is totally fine. No fever. No runny nose, eating fine, sleeping fine, playing fine etc. (Actually now that I think about it, he has had a little "runnier" poo's... sorry that is gross.)

But he still has this "wet" cough.... and it's been a few days now with no change.

Is his worth a trip to the pedi? What could it be? I have never heard of a cold with only a cough as a symptom.

Advice?

It never hurts to call.

ditto pp, it never hurts to call.  With you getting close to full term, I'd want my older child 100% healthy when that baby comes.

This was Caleb a few weeks ago.  I called initially and they said if it wasn't gone in 10 days to call back.  I hesitated because other than the cough he seemed fine.  Turned out he had bronchitis.  Doesn't hurt to have him checked out!

Yep.  Right now I would call asap for any respiratory illness.  Swine Flu is still alive and kicking.  Not trying to scare you, but it is a harsh reality right now.  I think it will become more widespread before it goes away.  There is nothing wrong with erring on the side of caution with that one.

After a week with no improvement I'd probably call. Especially with the "runnier poo".

GL!
