What to do if your baby coughs while sleeping

Baby cold and cough is a common disease. Sometimes it may be that the air in the room is too polluted, which irritates the child's respiratory mucosa and causes the child to cough continuously. In addition, parents often smoke at home, and the room is filled with smoke, which also irritates the child's respiratory mucosa and causes coughing. At this time, the best solution is to open the windows in time for ventilation. Here is a brief introduction on what to do if your baby coughs while sleeping.

If your baby has a cough, please take the correct seat. Cough caused by common cold: Characteristics: Mostly irritating coughs, like itchy throat, without phlegm; occurring day or night, not accompanied by wheezing or rapid breathing. Symptoms: The baby is sleepy and has a runny nose, sometimes accompanied by fever, with the body temperature not exceeding 38 degrees; poor spirits and loss of appetite. After sweating and fever subside, the symptoms disappear, but the cough may continue for 3-5 days. Cause: It is prevalent in all seasons and is more common when there is a big temperature difference. People usually experience catching a cold, such as kicking off the quilt when sleeping at night, wearing too few clothes, catching a cold when taking a bath, etc. Generally, no special treatment is required. Just feed your baby more warm water, ginger juice or onion water. Try to use less cold medicine. When your baby is irritable and has a fever, you can give him a little Xiaoerxin orally. Do not use adult antipyretics. Do not feed him cough syrups, cough tablets and other cough medicines, and do not abuse antibiotics.

Cold air irritating cough: Characteristics: The cough is initially an irritating dry cough. Symptoms: light sputum, no fever, no shortness of breath and other accompanying symptoms. Let your baby get exercise in temperature changes from an early age. Take your baby outdoors often, even in the cold winter. Only the respiratory tract that has been trained can withstand the stimulation of cold air.

If children catch colds and cough from time to time, it often means that their resistance is relatively poor. At this time, we should focus on improving the child's immunity. For example, let your child go to bed earlier at night to ensure that he or she gets enough sleep. In addition, a dry throat can easily lead to coughing, so you should encourage your child to drink more water at this time.
