My 2.5 year old DS2 has a horrible barking cough, it sounds like seal. I'm not used to coughs, DS1 never gets them and DS2 has only had a mild one when he has been ill in other ways. At the moment he seems fine but the cough is bothering him, it woke him a lot last night and he often gets to the point of retching.
My question is whether it is worth going to the Dr with just a cough, even if it is a bad one, and if not what can I give him to soothe it? I know most over the counter medicines are not much good so any suggestions?
Thanks!
