Hi some help please my son is 7 and is genuinely healthy he has a cold just now just like me and his 22 month old sister but when he coughs he sounds like a dog barking. He has always gotten this croup cough ever since he was little but the doctor says it's not asthma but I think it is as I have asthma and every time I was ill I got the croup barking cough my daughter on the other hand has a normal cough and never had a croup cough. Do I let it run its course or take him the doctors again

If his breathing is ok and he's not too bad at night just let it run it's courae. Otherwise get him seen ASAP.
