Hi, my 12 week old son seems to have a very congested cough. He is wheezy sometimes and may even spit up mucus after coughing so much. The cough can wake him up and he appears to be choking on the mucus. It is quite worrisome. He does not have a runny nose or fever associated with this dreadful cough that just wont go away - Im afraid he cant breath and will choke, any suggestions?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, your son is mostly having asthmatic bronchitis. He is allergic to some allergen which is causing him these symptoms. Actually, all these symptoms can be life-threatening. So better to consult neonatologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system for wheezing. He will need injectable bronchodilator, antibiotics and other supportive Chat Doctor.  Inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) via nebulizer is also beneficial. So don't worry, with proper treatment, he will improve. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
