Common Health Problems in Babies

Prolonged Coughing

A cough can be an indicator of a variety of different things. This can be frustrating for parents. The most common problem behind a couple in babies and children is an upper respiratory infection, also known as a common cold. However, if your baby or child does start coughing it is helpful to listen to see if there is any sort of wheezing or shortness of breath which could indicate asthma. If they present with a fever and a more “moist” cough, seek medical attention if they continue to have a fever for more than five days as they may be suffering from a middle-ear infection which can be super painful.
