14 month DS been coughing all night, should I take him to the doctor?

[Lightofthemoon]

He has been coughing most the night, but seems a bit better now he's up and about. He seems well otherwise and I'm wondering whether to take him to the doctor as I'm not sure they can do much for a cough? Or is there anything I can buy at the chemist to help?

Any advice would be great.

I would take him to the GP in case it's a chest infection. We had the same in this house a few weeks ago.

If they listen to his chest and take his temp and it's all ok it will put your mind at rest.

Thanks sparkling I think you're right. Have just been at the dr so much recently didn't want to wait for half an hour and be sent home as they can't give him anything, but i guess sitting at the surgery is part of life with a baby

The thing is Light if you are up half the night again tonight you will be glad you went to see the GP.

Just do it for peace of mind.
