What does it mean if my 1-week-old newborn is coughing a lot while crying?

Hello doctor,

My newborn baby is 1-week-old, and she cries a lot. She coughs a lot throughout her crying. This is the only time she coughs. She does not have a fever and does not show any signs of illness. What does this mean?

Should I be concerned?

Kindly help.

Hello doctor,

Thanks for the reply.

Her breathing is normal and she is exclusively breastfed. She pees a lot and her poop is watery.

My only query is that she is coughing throughout while she is crying. But when she is wide awake with her eyes open, she is not coughing. Could this be symptoms of reflux?

Thanks.

Hello doctor,

Thanks for the reply.

She is coughing a lot only when she is crying. She does not cough any other time. We have not seen any vomiting, but she is spitting up some of her milk. She does not have any difficulty while feeding. Her latch is excellent. We only breastfeed her, and for each feed, we alternate sides.

Thanks.
