The concern is not what type of doctor but that the infant/child receive medical care IMMEDIATELY! The infant in question should be taken to the nearest emergency medical facility. Such symptoms can be the begining of a serious respiratory illness or one that is already present and can rapidly progress to pneumonia or respiratory distress or failure.
