My son has had a bad cough, it'll be 2 weeks tomorrow. It's productive, & the only other symptoms he has is sometimes has a little bit of a runny nose. Should I just get him checked? He has not had a fever. It does bother him, especially when he tries to nap or sleep at night. I have been running a cool mist humidifier for him as well. I'm just worried they'll either brush it off like it's nothing, if it is something or that's all it is, a bad cough.

If he has no other symptoms I wouldn’t bother taking him to be seen, unless it’ll make you feel better. But I’d just continue doing what you’re doing. They have suckers for kids that soothe their throats.

There’s cough syrup for kids as well- Zarbees works.

thank you, I'm going to definitely try that & see if it helps. I get worried because, a year ago he had pneumonia after a flu complication but, of course he had other symptoms. So, I am probably just overthinking & worrying myself out. My daughter also has a cough too with no other symptoms as hers is productive as well it isn't as often as my son's so I know hers isn't as bad. She also doesn't wake up from it at night. Asthma does run in my family but, I've never been told he had it. I will give the zarbees & throat pops a try .

If he has fever let it pass. You are doing the right things already.😊

Thank you, it's really reassuring to hear that. I get overwhelmed & my anxiety kicks in when my son gets sick like that. 😅 So far, no fever though , I appreciate your advice as well. 😊
