What should I do if my child coughs when he goes to bed at night?

Children's health is always the most concerning issue for parents, because most children are physically fragile and can easily be infected with viruses and bacteria, causing great harm to their health. For example, coughing and fever are common problems. Some children do not cough during the day but cough incessantly at night, which seriously affects their sleep quality. Let’s see what to do if your child coughs when sleeping at night?

1. Pay attention to your diet. For children, if they always cough while sleeping, you should pay more attention to their diet in life, keep them away from spicy and irritating foods, and let their throats be treated in a better environment. In addition, if you cough while sleeping, parents can also use diet therapy to treat it. However, since the causes of illness are different for different children, it is best to consult the attending physician before using diet therapy so that the doctor can help you get better treatment.

2. Pay attention to the sleeping environment. It is very important to pay more attention to the sleeping environment when coughing, because the cough will be more severe if the throat is dry. In order to make yourself sleep better, it is recommended that you can control the sleeping environment and let the child sleep in an environment with higher air humidity.

3. Raise the pillow. Using a raised pillow when sleeping can help children breathe better and thus control coughing.

4. Soaking your feet before going to bed is a very good way to maintain health. Soaking your feet can drive away fatigue and keep blood flowing throughout the body. However, the soaking time should not be too long, about 20 minutes is enough, or the time can be longer, until you sweat on your back.

5. Eat less cold food. People who like to cough at night usually have a cold constitution. If you eat too much cold food, it will cause great harm to the body. It is best to eat warm food and try not to eat too hot food to avoid irritating the throat.
