2-month-old baby with lung cough?
⚡ Short answer: If a 2-month-old has a lung cough, see a doctor the same day, and if there are signs of breathing difficulty (chest tightness, blueness, poor feeding), go to the ER immediately.

2-month-old baby with lung cough — I'm very confused about this, what should I do?

Lung cough in a 2-month-old is always something to take seriously. His immune system is still very weak at this age, so cough could be bronchiolitis (small airway inflammation), pneumonia, or RSV and other viral infections. Don't watch and wait at home.
Call your pediatrician or go to a health facility today. Also go straight to the ER if you see any of these:
- Working hard to breathe (ribs pulling in, nostril flaring)
- Bluish tint around lips or face
- Not able to feed or seems too sleepy
Keeping him upright while he sleeps and humidifying the room can help, but these aren't treatment — the doctor needs to evaluate. Trust your instinct, don't delay.
