"My 7-week-old baby has been coughing a lot for the past 2 weeks. There has been no improvement. Should I consider scheduling another appointment despite a negative X-ray taken 1 week ago?"

If your 7-week-old baby has been coughing for 2 weeks with no improvement, it may be a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider again, even if a chest x-ray was negative a week ago. It's important to monitor for any signs of difficulty breathing and try to increase fluid intake to help soothe the throat and maintain hydration. Give it a couple more days, but if symptoms persist, seeking medical advice is recommended.
