i took my 7 month old baby swimming in the ocean and i think he swallowed a bit of water.  it is now midnight and my little boy is coughing and sniffling would this be from swimming and should i take him to doctor. he usually does not wake up in the night at all.  he sounds a bit congested
Dear parent, for coughing give him a cough suppressant as dextromethorphan and an expectorant as Murine. For sniffing give him an antihistamines once daily before bed. No need to worry about swallowing ocean water as salted water is not harmful as chlorine water of swimming pools
