What should I do if my child coughs badly while sleeping at night?

Children's illness is the most troublesome thing for parents, especially for children with weaker bodies who often catch colds and coughs due to common factors such as large temperature differences. Many children do not show obvious symptoms of discomfort during the day because they have toys and other distractions, but start coughing severely at night when they go to bed, which seriously affects the children's sleep. Parents are often at a loss. Now I will introduce to you how to deal with such situations.

First, you should take your child to the hospital for examination to find out the cause of the disease. If the cough is severe, you should lean forward. If you feel very painful due to severe coughing, you can lean your body forward on the table and then use your hands behind your back to support him. When sleeping, the head should be elevated.

This can prevent severe coughing and attacks. If a child coughs while sleeping, you can pat the child's back to relieve the discomfort.

You can also make pear stewed with rock sugar for your children to eat, which has the effects of nourishing yin and moistening the lungs, nourishing the stomach and promoting salivation. Suitable for chronic tracheitis, whooping cough, chronic pharyngitis and other diseases. Each bite is eaten in the morning and evening. Stewed pears with rock sugar does have a cough-relieving effect, but it takes a while to eat.

Stewing pears can remove phlegm heat, nourish yin and moisten the lungs. It is better to add Fritillaria if conditions permit. In addition, pears can relieve the symptoms of dry throat, itchy throat, sore throat and loss of voice; eating pears frequently can relieve the symptoms of lung heat, cough, itchy throat and excessive phlegm. Method: One bag of polycrystalline rock sugar and two pears, cut the pears into small pieces.

Put appropriate amount of water in the pot. Boil until it is almost bubbling. Add appropriate amount of rock sugar into the water. Continue to heat on low heat, add small pieces of pear, and continue to simmer on low heat. Turn off the heat after about 20 minutes. Drink it after it cools down.

Children often get sick due to their age and physical constitution. Parents do not need to worry too much. They should pay attention to adding or removing clothes for their children in time to prevent them from catching cold and getting sick. If they feel unwell, they should go to the hospital for check-up in time and give their children medicine on time. Parents should pay attention to their children's diet during their illness and let them have a good sleep so that they can recover their health soon.
