Quick WWA12D?

This is a dumb question cuz I'm 95 percent sure about taking DS to the doctor about this, but I wanted your thoughts.

Since we started going to the pool, DS has had a little bit of a cough and sounds slightly stuffy but only for like the half a day after we are at the pool. His cough is so sparse that I'm afraid that he won't cough while we are at the doctor so she won't be able to see that symptom. This is all also coinciding with a new tooth coming through. He coughed because of the excessive drool last time he was teething. I'm inclined to say the coughing and stuffiness is just a reaction to the pool water cuz I get the same way sometimes, but I also am that way because I have allergy related asthma.

Would you still take him to the doctor even if he may not show the coughing or stuffiness while at the doctors office?

  • If he doesn't have a fever I'd give it another day to see if it sorts itself out. We had the same thing with DS after swimming. I'm sorry he's not feeling well :(

  • No but I usually don't go to the doctor unless my eyeball is on fire or the kids have a broken bone.  Or for well child checks, of course.

    This. And I make 'em wait a few hours with the broken bone.... 

    ETA: I did know which "our, hours" to use.

    It's showing them you love them, cf. Haha
    Ti I would not take him in. It might be chemicals for reasons he's coughing and them is better a few hours.later.

  • Thanks. This makes me feel better. I'll keep an eye on him and go from there.
  • When is your next well visit?  If it is soon I would wait for that.  My LO tends to wake up in the morning coughing and a little stuffy, so I assume its allergies because it goes away after a bit.  If it isn't bothering him too much I would just wait
