Blown windows causing cough?

4 replies

Hi I'm wondering if someone can help me. My 4 month old little boy has had a really wheezy cough since he was born. I've been to the doctors and they say there is nothing wrong. All the windos apart from 2 in my rented house have blown and I'm wondering if that's causing it? I hate hearing him cough and knowing there is nothing I can do :( any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

There's a cold with a nasty cough doing the rounds at the mornt, so he has probably caught that.

Substandard housing doesn't of course cause a specific infection, but being cold and miserable isn't going to be helping.

Have you spoken to your landlord about repairs? Whether anyone is ill or not, it sounds like there are things that need fixing.

I've spoken to him many times about it but he is adamant there isn't a problem :( thank you for your help. Il put extra heating in his room and see how he gets on.

if you mean double-glazed windows that have gone misty, no, nothing to do with it. There is nothing coming out of the windowpane. They just look unsightly.

A cough since he was born doesn't sound right. Does it improved when you are out or in a different place?
If it doesn't improve and its not connected to the house then I would get hime checked again.
