Why does my child cough at night but not during the day?

Children are particularly prone to illness during their growth period due to developmental reasons or many other reasons. When they are sick, most of them tend to have symptoms such as coughing and colds. As for some common coughs, such as sore throat caused by getting angry, parents can make some snow pear paste for their children to eat, which can reduce the heat and relieve the cough. Some children cough not because of getting angry or other reasons. For example, some children cough at night but not during the day. Many friends are not very clear about what is going on in this situation.

Coughing is one of the most common symptoms of respiratory diseases in babies. The baby's bronchial mucosa is delicate and has poor resistance to viral infections, so it is easy to develop serious illness and cause coughing. Coughing is a self-protection phenomenon, and it also indicates that there is a problem in a certain part of the baby's body, reminding parents to pay attention to the baby's physical health.

If a baby catches a cold and coughs while sleeping at night, generally no special treatment is required. You can feed your baby more warm water, ginger water or onion water. When your baby is sleeping, let his head be slightly elevated to help him breathe smoothly and rest well. The temperature, humidity and air concentration in the baby's bedroom should be appropriate. The baby's clothes and quilts should fit well, and attention should be paid to keeping the baby's abdomen warm.

Usually, pay attention to prevent your baby from catching cold, increase your baby's resistance, and do moderate exercise. Any movement should be considered from the perspective of the child's safety, and any exercise that exceeds the child's ability should never be performed. Do not cause discomfort to your child by doing gymnastics. The best time is between meals. If the time is too short, the fitness effect will not be good, and if the time is too long, it will make the children too tired, so it is recommended to do it for about 20 minutes each time. Eat a balanced diet. Balanced nutrition is the basis of health. A balanced diet refers to eating four major types of food, including grains, meat, eggs, beans, vegetables, fruits, milk, calcium and other foods. Daily food should include these four types of food, and pay attention to appropriate portions. Vegetables, fruits and melons can provide fiber, vitamins A, C and minerals, and enhance the body's resistance.

The reason why children cough at night but not during the day is mostly due to a cold. At this time, parents should take their children to the hospital for timely treatment. After all, if a child coughs for a long time, it is very easy to aggravate the condition and cause complications such as pneumonia and bronchitis. Parents should pay more attention to their children's physical condition, take them to exercise more often, and strengthen their training.
