What should I do if my 2-year-old baby coughs at night?

Some 2-year-old babies have health problems, so it is necessary to pay attention to taking timely treatment methods to ensure the baby's health and avoid situations where the baby's safety and health are threatened due to health problems. So what should I do if a 2-year-old baby coughs at night? Let me introduce this issue to you below.

1. Cough due to food accumulation: Similar to cough due to phlegm and dampness, it is caused by indigestion of the spleen and stomach or constipation of the large intestine affecting the lung function.

Treatment: Use Xiaoji Zhike oral liquid or Xingpi Yanger granules according to physical condition.

2. Night cough: It may be an insect cough, caused by parasites entering the respiratory tract; it may be an allergy, dust, or mites causing the cough; it may be due to runny nose or drinking water before going to bed, flowing into the respiratory tract; it may be food accumulation; it may be yang deficiency.

Coughing at night and in the morning may be caused by dryness, yin deficiency, too hot quilt, or cold cough. These can be treated by boiling black plums in water and adding shredded ginger. suggestion:

1. Fumigation with vinegar: half vinegar and half water, fumigate the bedroom for 1 hour before going to bed. Vinegar kills bacteria, and water increases humidity, which can effectively prevent and control coughing;

2. Garlic. Giving your baby the cooked garlic that adults use to cook can enhance their immunity, prevent colds, and also kill bacteria and relieve coughs.

3. If you start coughing, it is important not to take cough medicine. You can boil a small amount of water with hawthorn, tangerine peel and licorice, and add shredded ginger to treat runny nose. You can also use hawthorn, licorice and white radish water.

4. Cough up phlegm. The child can lie on his or her stomach, either on an adult's legs or on a blanket. Be careful not to let the surface underneath be too hard or too soft. Cup your palms into a hollow shape, and pat the baby's lungs on both sides of his back, alternating left and right, moving from the bottom of the lungs upward to allow the phlegm in the lungs to disperse and move toward the throat. About 50 to 100 times in total. When patting, use a little force, not too light, a little heavy will not affect the baby. When phlegm gets into the throat, it can easily enter the mouth when coughing. Babies will not spit out the phlegm, but it will be fine if they swallow it into their stomach.

5. Coughing will not get better quickly, it may take 3-15 days. As long as you can control it and feel good, don't rush to the hospital to avoid cross infection due to coughing.

6. If you have a cough and fever, it is mostly caused by cold in this season. Do not take antibiotics or antiviral drugs. Instead, take Zhibao Pills or Ganmao Qingre Chongji (which contain perilla).

The above is my opinion on this issue. If the child suffers from the above-mentioned diseases, the child should pay attention to take appropriate treatment methods in time. This will avoid dangerous situations for the child due to the above-mentioned problems. Finally, I wish the child a speedy recovery.
