HELP! My four-month old bb has serious cough. Anything to help?
He had fever (about 38.5C) and some cough two days ago and I bought him to see the doctor. He had panadol syrup once and the fever dropped. He also took the cough medicine but his cough continues and gets worse.
Shall I continue to give him the medicine? Or can the cough be cured without taking any medicine? I'm afraid that his immune system cannot be properly developed!

If fever come down, you may consider continue the medicine that your doctor give you, for 'common cold' though it can be cured by itself, medicine did help to relieve discomfort. However, if your baby still have fever, or if his cough getting worse, especially associated with a lot of noises or great effort to breath, go to the casualty.
