8 month old with rattling cough
HelloMy 8 mnth old has been suffering with a rattling, mucousy cough for about 5/6 days. I'm pretty new to this and am a little unsure which remedy to prescribe. He coughs at various times throughout the day, has very little expectoration, finding it difficult to identify a trigger that sets him off. He's been sick only once after a coughing fit, he's still eating as normal and just waking once in the night around 2am . he is teething so hasn't been his usual happy self, still happy to sit and play by himself, maybe just a bit whingy at times. as he's unable to tell me how he feels its difficult to list any more symptons than a sporadic rattling cough (he's rattling/wheezing when he's breathing). I've given him ANTIM TART last few days (4 x 30c) but still he;s no better. Feeling pressure from family to take him to docs for anti biotics but I'm loathed to do so, would welcome some advice to shift this.
Thanks

1.whether he prefers warm surroundings ie whether he likes to be covered or he prefers cold surroundings and open air.
2.whether he has a mild disposition or an irritable diposition. How is his attitude towards his friends and relatives?
3.What other physical problems, if any does he have.
4.At what time he feels better and at what time does he feel worse like in the morning, evening, late night etc.
5.What do you think is the causative factor for starting his problems.
6.How is his thirst for cold drinks, hot drinks and water?
7.How is the bowel movement? Normal, constipated or loose.
8.Whether the child prefers to move around or prefers to keep still.
