Increased saliva production during teething can drip down the back of the throat and cause occasional mild coughing. This is usually a dry, shallow cough that doesn't disturb your baby's breathing, eating, or sleep. However, teething itself is not thought to cause a persistent, rattling, or mucus-filled cough that affects lower airways.
If your baby has nasal discharge, fever, wheezy breathing, poor appetite, or a cough that disrupts sleep, this is likely an upper respiratory infection or something unrelated to teething and needs evaluation by a pediatrician. Especially if under one year old and accompanied by any fever, same-day medical consultation is important.
