Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
I can understand your concern.
Monitor for the following in a child with
cough.
1. Rapid breathing.
2. Chest indrawing while breathing.
3. Abnormal noise while breathing.
4. Nasal flaring
5. Bluish discoloration of fingers (
cyanosis)
6. Irritability or lethargy
If your baby has any of these you should consult your doctor immediately
You need not worry regarding that wind that he is passing. Some times children eat very little after viral infections. But if there is no gradual improvement please contact your doctor for physical examination.
Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
