What should I do if my child coughs at night? 1. First of all, children coughing at night is caused by improper lying position, which can lead to poor breathing in the lungs or bronchi, manifested as breath-holding and tearing. 2. Frequent nighttime coughing in children may also be due to inflammation of the throat or dry itchiness that irritates the respiratory mucosa, so you can let your baby change to a side-lying position or pick him or her up and lie on his or her side in between coughs. Gently pat your baby’s back to promote the expulsion of phlegm. It is important not to take cough medicine casually, as it may inhibit the cough center to the detriment of sputum excretion. 3. A child’s nighttime cough may also be due to lack of ventilation in the room. In order to keep your baby from catching a cold, you may close the windows at night, making the indoor air muddy, so that your baby will easily cough at night. The best way to solve this situation is to keep the indoor air circulating, not dry and odor-free, and not to burn mosquito incense. 4. Changes in indoor temperature may also cause a child to cough at night. In summer, when it is hot, and in winter, when it is cold, many friends are used to sleeping with the air conditioner on at night, not knowing that this will cause the baby to cough at night. I suggest that it is best not to turn on the air conditioner, but to open it for a while before bedtime to adjust the room temperature, or to take other methods to adjust the room temperature to create a soothing sleeping environment for your baby. Of course, medication and food therapy can both be effective in relieving children’s nighttime cough. For example, Niancian’s Honey Refined Chuanbei Loquat Paste is a refreshing and cool way to stop the itchy throat! Snakebite Chuanbei Loquat Ointment can be an option for babies to liquefy the inhalation of phlegm-relieving medication. Chinese medicine Chuanbei stewed snow pear is also beneficial to resolve phlegm and cough, take 1 pear, cut off the head as a cover, dig out the core, put 10 grams of rock sugar, 6 grams of Chuanbei powder, cover the head of the pear, put it in a bowl and steam it on the fire, eat the pear and drink the juice. In addition you should pay attention to the baby to drink more water.
