question: Hi, my 8 week old baby has had a cough for aboit 10 days now. Had steriods for 2 days and took him back to docs who said its just a cough and his breathing is fine and chest clear etc. He is however having coughing bouts and bringing up stringy clear phlem that u almost need to scoop out witb your hand. Im worried about whooping cough or is this just a cough? My 2 older children also have had awful coughs
