re: Would you?

Quoting Momma +2 Girls:" Have u done the humidifier, vics, steamy shower to try to loosen the mucus? Or even some medicine to ... [snip!] ... to try to loosen it? I would def schdxule a dr appointment if uve tried those and he still has the cough and its gettinf worse."

We don't have a humidifier and he won't go into the bathroom with the shower running, don't ask me why I have no clue. I havn't tried vics yet, but I'll definitely go get some today. I don't use much medicine around here except prescription (which we rarely ever need). I'm definitely going to take him in if it's as bad or worse in the next few days.

LOL. Yeah, most of that stuff just alleviates or masks the symptoms which I dislike because then I won't know if something is actually wrong, ya know.

No, I wouldn't. I generally won't send him even if he has a low grade fever.

Quoting Kelly&Coralie:" If it really has been 5+ days of a bad cough, I would take him to the docs. Gotta rule out an infection like bronchitis"

I agree. I usually start probiotics as soon as something like that comes on, and with no improvement we go to the Dr.
