5 month old with a cough.. advice please :)

[BabyCJuly]

Hi all!

So this morning our daughter has woken up with a cough. She looks absolutely fine and no fever... just keeps coughing every so often.

Do we leave it and see how it progresses? Xxx

Thanks so much! - first illness so a little clueless!

If she's happy and still takes her feeds, just wait and see how it progresses.

Ok thank you :). I’m guessing keep her in till it shifts?

Covid test, unfortunately, and i think the rest of your household needs to isolate until she gets a negative response.

As this poster says. Unless you haven’t been in close contact with anyone else previously then the household can just isolate for 14 days.

Call your GP, midwife or health visitor xx

Thank you all! So since I posted she hasn’t coughed! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Will keep an eye! Thank you! She’s teething so think it could have been saliva as she was really struggling with teeth this morning! Was panicking this morning!
