1 year old , cough can persist for around 2 weeks sometime. It takes time with young kids, as they r not able to take out the secretions themselves, so it takes longer. and secretions usually comes out like this only in form of vomiting only. Danger signs which should alert you and prompt you to visit child specialist immediately are High fever persisting , Breathing difficulty, Lethargy.
If child is active, alert, playful and sleeping comfortably then need not worry.
give any syp with dextromethorphan (eg. Chericoff , cofdec-P etc).
and golden rule is whenever in doubt visit your child specialist.
