Deep Barking Cough And Decreased Energy In 6yr Old Son
Deep barking cough and decreased energy in 6yr old son; no other symptoms My 6yr old son developed a deep, wet barking cough in early Feb.and I treated it as cold with vicks and it lasted a week. About 4 days ago he developed the same cough but worst and is now complaining of his chest hurting when he coughs and has decreased energy. He has no other symptoms; no drainage, fever , sore throat , etc. I have been giving him Claritin . What could this be? I am trying to treat him over the weekend at home so I dont have to take to ER for a cough.

Hi
Welcome to Healthcaremagic Forum
Yes he needs an examination and medication. SO visit his pediatrician/ ER before he developes further symptoms or a severe infection.
If the problem is recurrent , you can try alternative therapy like homeopathy , safely.
Takecare.
