Hi, my son is almost 6 months old. He s had a cough since he was born, it s a very dry cough however, when he s sleeping at night he gets very congested and sometimes snorts/snores. We ve tried cough meds from the pediatrician as well as a humidifier and nasal spray with suction. He wasn t pre-mature and was a very healthy 10lbs4ozs at birth. He doesn t ever have a fever or any other symptoms.
It might be atypical pneumoniaAntibiotic clarithrimycin can be tried with dose 15 mg/kg for 7 days. However, i as a pediatrician would need some investigation like chest X-ray, contour test and hemoglobin.
