4 week old cough

My eldest dd is at nursery and picked up a nasty cough and cold this week. Second dd caught it and now ds (just 4 weeks) has it.
I'm just wondering if we need to see the Dr and how soon (as its the weekend now) if its most probably a virus as the others had?
He is still taking feeds ( albeit a little less than usual)
Is it likely itcould turn into a chest infection?

www.blf.org.uk/Conditions/Detail/Bronchiolitis-and-your-baby

This is a good leaflet about bronchiolitis which lots of little babies get this time of year from their older siblings colds! Really common but worth a read about.
All good immune building stuff though Grin hope your little one stays sniffle free.
