Yes its common for kids to contract the same infection. Its ok if your boy is asking for water but the point of concern is fast breathing so please do get him evaluated. As for your girl cough normally has a cycle of 4 -6 weeks post respiratory infection so cough will take time .in the meantime make sure you are giving plenty of fluids to your kids
