Earlier this week, my son had run a slight fever (99.9 was as high as it got at around 11 PM) Since then, he has been fine. However, I have kept him downstairs in his play pen to monitor him during the night. He suddenly started coughing (which he hasn't had this week at all) and he woke for a bit, and his cheeks were pretty red. He isn't running a fever, and doesn't seem to be in any pain (though the coughing has made him wake up a few times, and he just goes right back to sleep.) If he still exhibits these signs in the morning, I will be taking him to the doctor, but as it is almost 2 AM, I can not get my 6 year old out of the bed to haul him to the ER, as I don't see this as being an emergency situation. What does it sound like could be happening? (He has had a history of allergies, and he is 8 months old) Thanks a lot!
