Cough..should I be concerned?

in Preemies

Morgan has a tiny bit of a cough (well it seems like a big cough for her)...I don't know if I should be concerned since she's still so little.  I remember the neonatologist saying that a lot of preemies end up at children's in DC because of RSV.  

And that's sitting in my head, on repeat.

Ugh!

    It doesn't hurt to call the doc. If it starts interupting her sleep or it seems like she's in pain or she develops a fever I'd push to have her seen. My ds has a cough a few weeks ago and developed a high fever. It turned out to brochiolitis. You can never be too careful especially if she had any respiratory issues.

    The doctor told me the same thing about RSV which is why I was very concerned when my LO came down with a cough/runny nose last week.  I took him in to see the pediatrician, they swabbed his nose and 10 minutes later determined he was negative for RSV.  It's a very quick and easy test and will give you peace of mind.  Good luck!
