    My daughter is 17 months old and has had a cough for more than a week
    My daughter is 17 months old and has had a cough for more than a week almost 2 weeks.
    She has a little bit of a runny nose and has a weird cough. She coughs andits loud and sounds like there is mucus in her throat. When she coughs she has a coughing attack and almost vomits. She doesn't really have a constant fever, but has had about three fever spells, that weren't very high at all, I think maybe its teething. She acts perfectly fine, not sad or acting sick, she's still very active.

    Can anyone help us?

    I would say time for a doctor visit.

    Please take her to the doctor. This may be just more than a cough if it has gone on for 2 weeks.

    Its sounds like the same little cold that's going around my house.
    And that lasted like two weeks. She could just be sick! But I'm no expert!

    Yes, do take her to the doctor. It could just be allergies but with or without a fever, it's so much better to be safe than sorry. Not trying to scare you but please do go. Hope all is well!
