If the baby has had similar episodes of persistent cough, night time cough, needed nebulization in the past for relief of cough, has a family history of bronchitis or allergies, then maybe you should consider possibility of an allergic component to this cough in which case the line of action would be different but these diagnosis and their subsequent treatment cannot be done over a chat and patient news to be treated only under medical supervision
