When a baby experiences worsened coughing in the early morning accompanied by symptoms of sinusitis, this may be due to the relaxation of the body during nighttime rest and the accumulation of nasal secretions. Changes in position can cause secretions to flow back into the throat, leading to coughing, especially when bacterial infection is present, sinusitis symptoms may be more pronounced in the morning. Additionally, decreased nighttime immunity makes the nasal mucosa susceptible to pathogen invasion, causing mucosal swelling, increased secretions, and further stimulation of the throat while lying down, leading to coughing.
In such situations, seeking timely medical examination is the first step. Doctors may recommend the use of antibiotics, such as amoxicillin granules or cefuroxime axetil suspension, to combat infection and speed up the recovery process. For cases triggered by allergic rhinitis, besides avoiding known allergens, the use of antihistamines like loratadine syrup may be suggested, with consideration of performing drainage to remove pus to alleviate symptoms. In terms of daily care, increasing the baby’s fluid intake can help thin mucus, relieve coughing and sore throat, while using saline solution to clean the nasal passages is an effective way to alleviate nasal congestion and runny nose.
In terms of prevention, ensuring timely addition or removal of clothing for the baby, preventing chilling, and maintaining fresh air circulation indoors are important measures to reduce the risk of illness. Through comprehensive treatment and daily care, sinusitis and morning cough issues in babies can be effectively managed.
