How to solve the problem of children coughing at night

Many parents will find that their children cough very badly when they sleep at night, but they don’t know how to deal with and solve this problem, because this phenomenon also affects the baby’s normal sleep. So here I would like to introduce to you how to deal with and solve the problem of children coughing when they sleep at night. I hope that parents can pay more attention to helping their babies solve this pain.

Children's coughing is a distressing thing for many parents. Because children's respiratory system defense function is not sound and their cough reflex is not sensitive, their coughing and sputum symptoms are different from those of adults. Younger babies may choke when drinking water or feeding. In severe cases, the milk may come out of their mouths and noses, making it difficult for them to eat. If we are careless, weak infants and young children may choke on milk that enters their trachea, blocking their breathing and causing suffocation, which is life-threatening. Infants and young children cannot consciously cough up phlegm, so the phlegm will be automatically swallowed into the stomach when it reaches the throat. What they vomit out from the stomach is often mucus. Children who cough more often have purring sounds in their larynx, which is a sound of phlegm in the throat, which sounds like a cat snoring. In addition, there is a special cough that sounds like a dog barking and makes a "hollow" sound. It is called a barking cough, which is a unique symptom of acute laryngitis. If the throat is stuffy and purple, it means that the laryngeal edema is severe and threatens the child's life. There is no doubt that coughing causes a lot of pain to children.

Of course, to truly and completely cure a cough, you must treat the underlying disease. In addition, the diet should be light and tasty. Fresh vegetables such as green vegetables, cabbage, radish, carrots, tomatoes, etc. can provide a variety of vitamins and inorganic salts, which are beneficial to the repair of the body's metabolic function. Soy products contain high-quality protein, which can replenish the tissue protein lost by the body due to inflammation, and has no disadvantage of increasing phlegm and dampness. You can also add a small amount of lean meat and other protein-rich foods. Dishes should avoid being too salty, and should be steamed or boiled as much as possible instead of fried, stir-fried or stewed. As the saying goes, "Fish causes fire, meat causes phlegm, and vegetables and radishes keep you safe." It makes sense to pay attention when a child has a cough.

The above are solutions to children’s coughing while sleeping at night. I hope that through understanding this common sense, every parent can pay attention to it, because no matter what disease occurs, the impact and harm on children are relatively large, so of course we need to pay attention to scientific response and solution.
