Lingering post-viral cough in a 24 month old?

0 replies

Hanalam · Today 22:35

Two weeks ago yesterday, DS came down with a cough, laboured breathing and high temperature which lasted for a couple of days. GP said it was a virus which would clear, which it did.

However, every day since then, he’s still been coughing. It’s happening in the day, evening and a few times overnight too. It’s a dry cough, doesn’t sound as though he’s got an infection.

Is this typical or should I be a bit more concerned at this point, especially with the weather getting colder now? (If relevant, I have been asthmatic since infancy, it was rather bad in my early years.)
