DS2 has had a chesty cough now for at least 2-3 weeks (might be longer). He is fine in the day, a bit of an intermittent cough, but nothing untoward.
At night time however, he has these very phlegmy and chesty coughs, where he's had episodes where he is gagging, choking and in obvious pain.
Not sure whether I'm over-reacting by thinking of taking him to the Doctor. As I say, he seems fine'ish in the day and happy in himself, no temperature, but it is quite a cough at night. We've had him in the choking position twice (i.e. head lower than body and slapping him on the back a bit to clear his throat).
Any thoughts? Thanks for reading.
