cough and swimming 10 month old

[lou222]

my 10 month old has a relentless cough, is there anything i can do to relieve this ?
I have olbas oil but it isn't childrens will it be ok?
we have a swimming lesson on Friday which he loves, the water is very warm but will this worsen his cough?

Have you had him checked at the gp's?
sometimes a cough can be a symptom for asthma or someting else. don't want to worry you but if it is persistent, get it checked.

thanks it's only been a couple of days and he has a runny nose with it so think it is more of a cold but will take him to the gp's if it persists
should i take him swimming with a cold?

no don't take him swimming with a cold. He won't enjoy it becuase he's ill, and his cold could get worse.
