Hi my ds has been coughing frequently for a couple of weeks. I thought it was fake as he smiled after and it was a random cough here an there. I would respond saying 'poor you' etc.
However he has developed a new habit which sounds like he is gasping for air he occasionally does it when he's feeding but more often just when he's seemingly excited, or just at random. (Helpful description ... )
The combination of the two are beginning to concern me. With the air pollution/Sahara dust in London, I'm concerned it could be a reaction to this.
Today he has woken up with a runny nose streamy eyes and more coughs.
Boy who cried wolf comes to mind.
Happened to anyone else's child? Should I book an appointment with the gp?
