If associated with signs of respiratory distress or fever
With fevers and loss of appetite and energy
If the cough lasts longer than a week or there is fever, he should be checked. Are there any wheezing or color change with the cough? If so, get seen sooner. He could have swallowed something of be getting the pneumonia.
