What to do if your child does not cough during the day and has a bad cough at night

Usually the cough is strong at night due to the reduction of moisture in the child’s respiratory tract during nighttime sleep or due to allergic factors, etc. The specific solutions are as follows: a. When a child has a strong cough at night, the child needs to be woken up and can be given some hot water to help relieve the dry state of the throat, which can relieve the cough. Second, you can give oral medication to relieve the cough once. Third, the child can be given nebulized inhalation treatment, which can directly act on the airway and the throat to relieve airway hyperresponsiveness. For example, in case of allergic cough, budesonide or terbutaline can be inhaled, or in case of sputum, nebulized inhalation can quickly dilute the sputum and make it easily absorbed, relieving the child’s cough symptoms. Fourth, it can also be complemented with cough patches at night when the cough is heavy, applied to the Dazhi point, Tanzhong point, Tianshu, and the bilateral Lung Yu, all of which are beneficial for cough relief.
