Daycare cough???

My DS has had a very minor cough for a few weeks. No congestion, fevers, etc. I was telling a friend about it & she referred to it as the "daycare cough.". She said its very common in.babies who are new to dc. Does this really exist?

  • My LO has had this cough since we started daycare in October.  Here it is summer and she still has this cough.

  • DS is in DC and had a lingering cough for 5 days so I took him to the pedi. Turns out he had brochiolitis, which lasted almost 10 days. When finally prescribed the nebulizer it went aways in 4 days.

    Personally I did not like the lingering cough and I have never heard of a DC cough, there are no other babies coughing in his room. I would make an appointment to the pedi, these coughs can get serious.

  • I've heard of "daycare cough" before.  DS (13 months) had a wet cough most of the winter.  I took him to the pedi probably 4 or 5 different times but it didn't go away (even with neb treatment) until cold and flu season was over.  He did have bronchiolitis/RSV twice but there wasn't a lot they could do to treat it.  I think it's worth getting checked out but probably nothing serious.
