Question
Is wet cough bad? /Will my child be sick forever?
Answer
It's normal for children to have a wet cough when they get sick. The cough should stop after a couple of weeks. If it's still there in 4 weeks, there might be an infection, and your child might need antibiotics. With the right medicine, your child will recover.
Question
Can the wet cough come and go?
Answer
If the cough comes and goes- meaning some days, there is no cough – then this means your child has got better in between. The cough needs to be checked by a doctor if it doesn’t go away after 4 weeks.
