To call or not to call? (Just finished typing and had to add now SORRY_VERY LONG)

Let me start off by what a horrendous night DH and I had with all 3 kids waking up at all hours of the night. i'm amazed I'm up but I can't promise you my typing skills are fine.

Anyway ds will be 4 month on Sept 5th. For the last 5 days he has had a wet sounding cough with a little running nose here and there. He is in good spirits and still eat up a storm. My mom checked his chest on Friday and he sounded clear but his cough is still here. I have been checking his temp and it's 99.5.

I just cannot remember. What is a fever for a baby this young? He is laughing and having a great time in his bouncy seat but I'm not to happy about this cough.

I'd hate to have to bring him in to have themsay yeah it's a cold. Things have been so crazy here these pass 2 weeks. I'm a teacher and I still haven't been into school to set up my room, and my sister (tjspidur1) is due any minute now and my mom is driving ME crazy about it.

Do i call or not or just keep an eye on the fever? Thanks for letting me vent when really all I wanteed to do was ask a quick question.

my ped tells us to call if the fever is over 100.4, but if you are nervous with the cough then I would call & see what the Ped says.
