It sounds dry, and not lung so much as throat based, but is it possible for a virus to cause a cough with no other symptoms? He did not get ill at all, just developed this cough about 5 days ago. I know 5 days isnt even a worry to a doctor, and I am not going to take him yet. I know better than that,but was curious about the lack of other apparent illness. A cough from out of the blue without feeling sick just makes me paranoid and brings out the anxious dad.
I suppose it could be dry air too, it is northern Minnesota and the air in the house is burned dry by the furnace, but both my wife and I are cough free. Wouldn't we be doing the same thing?
I know it sounds silly to worry over a cough that is less than a week old--I had walking pneumonia once from nowhere, and it was weeks before I went to the doc. I take his health so much more seriously than my own, though I do pretty good at keeping my anxieties to myself.
Anyway, thanks for hearing me vent, yet again.
