What Causes Rhinitis With Wet Cough And Mucus?

My 13 month old son was dx with croup Tuesday night, no more barking cough or stridor after giving him the prescribed steroids, and seems to be sleeping, eating, and feeling better. But now has a runny nose and wet cough with lots of green mucus. Do I need to go back to the doctors?

Hi, does he have a fever?
Cold and cough is very common in toddlers especially when there is change in climate. Try to keep him warm and avoid cold items. If he has fever associated with cough with flames, it is better to take to your Paediatrician to check if there is any chest congestion.
Hope he gets well soon.
