What should I do if my child always coughs at night?

Coughing and colds are relatively common for children, but many parents have reported that their babies always cough when they go to bed at night, and they also have nasal congestion. Their hands and feet are a little cold during the day, and they cough when they get up. What is the reason why children always cough at night? If they keep coughing, it will have an impact on the body. The following editor will answer the doubts for parents.

1. Upper respiratory tract inflammation:

For example, acute or chronic bronchitis or bronchiectasis, coughing worsens when lying down at night, which is related to changes in body position and sputum stimulation, and is often accompanied by morning coughing.

2. Tuberculosis:

Patients with pulmonary tuberculosis often have nighttime cough.

3. Patients with chronic left ventricular failure:

In case of heart failure, due to the presence of pulmonary congestion, when lying flat, pulmonary congestion worsens, causing cough, chest tightness or dyspnea, which improves after sitting up.

4. Chronic pharyngitis:

It is mostly caused by mouth breathing or snoring after sleep. The dry air stimulates the throat and respiratory mucosa for a long time, making the mucosa dry and itchy, causing coughing.

1. Stewed pears with rock sugar: Peel the fresh pears, split them in half and remove the cores. Add appropriate amount of rock sugar and steam them in a pot until soft.

2. Bake oranges: Use chopsticks to make a hole in the center of the bottom of the orange, stuff some salt in it, wrap it with aluminum foil, and bake it in the oven for 15-20 minutes. After taking it out, peel the orange peel and eat it while it is hot. Or you can dry the orange peel into dried tangerine peel, add water to make tea, and drink it in big gulps. It has amazing effects.

3. Do not eat sweets such as candies and biscuits. Cold, dry foods that can easily cause inflammation, such as peanuts, melon seeds, fried foods, etc. should also be avoided. 4. Drink more warm water. Holding warm water in your mouth also has a good cough-relieving effect.

5. Stewed pear with Fritillaria cirrhosa: Use peeled and cored fresh pears, add 2 grams of Fritillaria cirrhosa powder, steam in a pot until soft, and eat while hot.

Children's immune systems are not fully developed yet, and their ability to resist germs is relatively low, so they will always catch a cold or have a fever when the seasons change or when they kick off the covers at night. Parents should pay attention to taking good care of their children when the temperature changes greatly during the season change, because children are more likely to catch colds. If a child has a high fever, seek medical attention immediately.
