If a baby coughs during nighttime sleep, it may be related to aggravated bronchitis, cough caused by allergies, upper respiratory infections, or issues like gastroesophageal reflux. In such cases, parents should take the child to the hospital for an examination as soon as possible, and take appropriate treatment measures after identifying the specific cause.
Sometimes, if the baby’s bronchitis is not effectively controlled, it may lead to deeper inflammation, accompanied by symptoms such as coughing with fever and difficulty breathing. The doctor may prescribe medications like Cefaclor granules or Amoxicillin granules for treatment.
For babies with allergic constitutions, exposure to allergens such as pollen and dust mites may trigger allergic reactions. In addition to coughing, there may also be skin itching and swelling. In this case, antihistamines such as Cetirizine syrup and Levocetirizine hydrochloride oral solution will be treatment options.
Upper respiratory infections are also a common cause of coughing. Viral or bacterial invasion can lead to nasal congestion, runny nose, and gradually trigger coughing. In response to this situation, the doctor may recommend medications such as children’s acetaminophen and chlorpheniramine granules.
Additionally, overeating or consuming overly greasy food at dinner may lead to gastroesophageal reflux, causing the child to cough during sleep. Improving this situation may require regulating with digestive enzymes or probiotics such as Bacillus subtilis dual live bacteria granules.
In daily care, ensuring the baby’s diet is light, avoiding spicy and irritating foods like chili and garlic, encouraging more water intake, and maintaining fresh indoor air are also important steps to relieve coughing.
