My son had bronchitis at 1 month and was given antibiotics. He is now down with cough and nose congestion again at 2.5months old. Should I monitor him for more days before bringing him to see doc? I dun want him to be dependent on medicine or antibiotics.

If he isn't showing too much discomfort and can still drink milk regularly, then I reckon it's okay to monitor him for a day or two before taking him to the doctor. Personally though, I'm the paranoid sort and at such a young age, I would rather be safe than sorry to seek medical advice. But that's just me. For cough and congestion, you can use a humidifier in baby's room to help alleviate the symptoms of congestion. As for the cough, the best is to keep baby hydrated. I hope your baby feels better soon!
