I have a slight fear my son may be coming down w whooping cough

@cameronsmommy17, you’re welcome! My son had respiratory issues as a baby, so I know how concerning it can be!

@pookiedoo, ok thank you!

@cameronsmommy17, then I would reduce the # of times you auction him. If his nasal passages get inflamed and swollen from auctioning, it can make his symptoms worse.

@pookiedoo, little to none.

@cameronsmommy17, are you getting anything? Over auctioning can cause irritation and make the symptoms worse.

@pookiedoo, thank you! I’m constantly sucking his nose and even mouth

If you’re worried, it doesn’t hurt to take him to the pedi or to urgent care. Just remember that babies can’t clear their throats the way older kids and adults can because they have so little neck space, so their coughs tend to sound worse than they actually are. I’m not trying to discourage you from getting a doctors opinion, just trying to offer a bit of reassurance.

@pookiedoo, at first I had marked it as allergies Bc he tends to get them a lot. But he just recently got this real bad cough. Idk it just worries me

Why? What are his symptoms?

Thats scary! Take him in asap
