I'm a bit worried about my son who's just 2 months and 16 days old. He doesn't really show any obvious symptoms of a cold but I've noticed he sneezes once or twice in the evenings and sometimes I hear a sound from his chest, although not consistently. Could this mean he has a cold or cough, even though he doesn't have a runny or stuffy nose? What should I do?

I'm really worried about my daughter who's been struggling with pneumonia for the last six years. She had a really bad attack and was admitted to the hospital. Over the past two years, she's been having chest pain and coughs a lot, especially when someone taps on her back. Should I be concerned about these symptoms? What do you think might be causing this, and are there any specific steps I should be taking to help her get better?

pneumonia doesn't last for this long. do one chest xray
