Baby night cough may be related to several factors. First, the temperature drops at night, cold air may cause the baby to catch a cold, stimulating the bronchi to cough. Parents should pay attention to adjusting the indoor temperature and add clothes to keep the baby warm. Second, lack of sufficient warmth during sleep, the stimulation caused by cold air entering the respiratory tract is also a cause of cough. This situation can be alleviated by adding clothes or using a hot water bottle to warm the abdomen. Third, increased respiratory secretions caused by bronchitis, inflammation sensitizes the respiratory mucosa, causing phlegm accumulation and coughing when lying flat. At this time, cough suppressants and expectorants can be used for treatment as advised by a doctor. Fourth, bronchospasm is a consequence of untreated disease, which requires the use of antihistamines such as loratadine to counteract it as directed by the doctor. Fifth, for babies with allergic constitution, exposure to allergens such as pollen and dust mites can trigger allergic cough, which also requires treatment with antihistamines under the guidance of a doctor. In the face of these situations, timely medical treatment and personalized treatment following doctor’s advice are crucial.
