My 7 week old baby has been coughing a lot for 2 weeks. No improvement. Should I reconsult despite a negative x-ray 1 week ago?

Good evening ma'am,
How long have you been doing the St. Justine's method, and with how much water per nostril and how many times per day?
30-year-old woman · 5 years ago
5 times a day 4ml per nostril, for exactly 1 week
.

And does she have a fever (or has she had a fever for the past 3 or 4 days)?
30-year-old woman · 5 years ago
No fever!

In that case, and if they don't seem to be having trouble breathing, I would wait a little longer before going to consult again (and continue using the nasal hygiene technique you are doing right now). Let's give it another 2 or 3 days. Also during this time, try to increase the frequency of drinking to soothe the throat with milk and keep a good level of hydration.
