My Son's Mystery Cough

Let's not overreact.

My DS has a weird cough that's been going on for over a week now. It only seems to manifest itself at night when he'll have these coughing fits for upwards of 10-minutes. And then during the day he's fine.

The only other symptom we have noticed is that we can hear some phlegm rattling around sometimes when he breathes.

The symptoms are common and probably are nothing to worry about. I'm taking him to the doctor on Monday, and hopefully we'll get a diagnosis.

It's not surprising that he picks up these little bugs considering we're always going to Gymboree, play groups, library story time and other public activities.

If anything, it's building up his immune system. And he's building character.
