Why does my baby cough and have phlegm in the morning?

The baby is a treasure in the eyes of parents. The baby’s health is related to the happy days of our whole family. Once the baby is sick, parents will always worry about his health. Our baby is everything in our lives as parents. Our baby’s health and happiness are the source of our family’s happiness. Therefore, it is very important to take care of children. We must carefully protect their growth. Today I will talk about why babies cough and have phlegm in the morning.

As the saying goes, nine out of ten babies cough! Because the baby's respiratory tract is still fragile and not fully developed, the baby will often develop respiratory diseases at the slightest disturbance. From a medical point of view, a baby's cough is a defensive reflex of the body to expel respiratory secretions or foreign objects. In other words, coughing is a protective physiological phenomenon for babies. But if the coughing is too severe and affects diet, sleep and rest, then it loses its meaning of protecting the baby.

Age of coughing If a newborn baby has a cough, you should be careful about diseases such as aspiration pneumonia and congenital lung developmental abnormalities. Cough in older children is generally more common in respiratory tract infections. If a preschool baby coughs, airway infection and foreign bodies in the airway should be taken into consideration.

Coughing time: If your baby coughs in the morning, it is most likely a chronic disease, such as chronic inflammation of the upper respiratory tract and chronic bronchitis. If your baby coughs at night, it may be caused by diseases such as whooping cough and acute spasmodic laryngitis.

After listening to my explanation of why babies cough and have phlegm in the morning, do you understand? Then we must learn how to improve this problem so that our babies can stay away from diseases and live a healthy and happy life. We all know that the baby is the focus of our family’s life. The baby’s health is the happiest thing for us as parents, isn’t it? So we should take good care of our babies and let them live healthy and happy.
