- If your baby wheezes or gasps for air, he may have bronchiolitis, which is caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
- If his cough is deep and sounds like a bark, he may have croup.
- If your baby seems to have a long-lasting cold and a chronic nighttime cough, he may actually have allergies or sinusitis.
- If it's a sudden, persistent cough without other cold symptoms, it could mean your baby has asthma or has inhaled an object.
- If a persistent cough is accompanied by difficulty breathing, fever, and chills, he may have pneumonia.
- If your baby has 20- to 30-second spells of nonstop coughing, and between spells makes an unusual, bird-like "whooping" sound as he tries to take a deep breath, it's likely whooping cough (also called pertussis).
- If your baby coughs constantly with a thick mucus that causes difficulty breathing, have him checked for cystic fibrosis.
