DD is 6 months and has had a cough for probably 2-3 months now. It's worse at night, and sounds chesty, like she's trying to bring something up. She'll often wake herself up coughing. She's often a bit snuffly and has had a few colds but aside from that no other symptoms to speak of.
I've taken her to GP over it before; they listened to her chest, checked her over and said it was nothing, just a cold or viral infection. But this has been going on so long I'm thinking I need to take her back really.
Has anyone any experience of this, any tips as to the sort of questions I need to be asking?
She doesn't seem to be in pain at all, but it's frightening sometimes when she wakes in the night and it really is like she's struggling to cough something up.
