Patient's question:
What is the reason why my child coughs every night after taking a nap? This has become a chronic condition. Previous treatment and its effectiveness: Drank some lung clearing and anti-inflammatory medicine. What kind of help is needed: What is actually going on?Doctor's answer:
The child coughs every time they take a nap at night. I don't know how long they've been coughing for? If it's been more than ten days, I recommend going to the hospital for a chest X-ray, checking for Mycoplasma pneumoniae antibodies, and a blood test. Based on the results, medication can be prescribed accordingly. If the X-ray is normal and the Mycoplasma test is negative, there should be consideration for the possibility of allergic cough, and oral antihistamines such as loratadine and montelukast sodium may be needed. This is the advice for the question "What's the reason why my child coughs every time they take a nap at night?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
