3-month-old wheezy cough? My mother-in-law says one thing, I read something else.

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

I understand your worry — a wheezy cough makes any parent anxious. Let me be very clear: a wheezy cough in a 3-month-old must always be evaluated by a pediatrician, because at this age the airways are very narrow and small.

The wheeze could be from something simple like a stuffy nose, reflux, or a viral infection—but it could also be a sign of something more serious like RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) or other respiratory illness. Without a doctor's exam and listening to the lungs with a stethoscope, it's impossible to tell.

I'd recommend going to the doctor today or tomorrow at the latest. Instead of being caught between what your mother-in-law says and what you're reading, getting a pediatrician to listen with a stethoscope is the right move.
