What are the symptoms of a child coughing when waking up in the morning?

It is very uncomfortable for children to wake up in the morning with a cough. For our children, waking up in the morning with a cough is the most taboo topic for them. It is both private and difficult to talk about. No man would want to suffer from the disease of waking up in the morning with a cough. So, what are the symptoms of children coughing when they wake up in the morning?

Cough symptom 1: A strong dry cough with a very clear sound, similar to the roar of a seal, usually occurring at midnight. This sound is unlike any cough you have heard before.

Cough symptom 2: Violent and hoarse coughing fits - up to 25 coughing fits per breath. When a child inhales forcefully, he or she may make a high-pitched roaring sound.

Cough symptom 3: The child has wheezing and persistent hoarse cough after eating

Cough symptom 4: Coughing with phlegm or wheezing, shortness of breath, weak breathing, or difficulty breathing

Hearing a child coughing always worries parents. Coughing is the body's way of clearing irritating mucus and other secretions from the respiratory tract, and is a body response to protect the respiratory tract. If your child's symptoms are mild (just wheezing without any symptoms such as difficulty breathing), parents can put a humidifier in his room to help clear mucus from his lungs, and make sure he drinks plenty of fluids.

The above is a brief introduction to the symptoms of children coughing when they wake up in the morning. I think everyone should have some understanding of it now. Here we should remind you that coughs can be divided into external coughs and internal coughs, and external coughs can be divided into wind-cold coughs and wind-heat coughs. Different types of coughs have completely different medications, so the dietary therapy methods are also different. It is more complicated to distinguish them. Here we teach parents a simple method, which is to observe the child's tongue coating. If the tongue coating is white, it is like snow in winter.
