my 7 month kitten keeps coughing hard?

She was neutered 12 days ago... the vet didnt give us any antibiotic after we picked her from clinic... She is still wearing her collar bec one of her stitches still needs time... playful and eating properly...

iam very worried because she has been coughing badly since 3 days.. sometimes after sleep.... she wakes up and coughs really hard as if suffocating...
We took her to the vet first time it happened, he checked her heart beats and said that it is nothing to worry about... maybe eating quickly or something but we r worried... he gave us antibiotics for our kitten.... we losend her collar but nothing changed... We r giving her hairball treatment and using proper litter with minimun dust...

today she woke up couphing very hard :( any ideas? should we ask another vet??

Yes ask another vet!  Sounds like she has an upper respitory infection, which is very deadly in for cats and kittens.

yes-take to vet immediately- i almost lost my Bob because I didn't know that coughing is a bad sign in cats unless actually coughing up a hairball-it turned out he'd gotten pneumonia. Do NOT hesitate-get your kitty to vet stat-coughing is NOT NORMAL in cats.
