How should we deal with a child's cough?

Patient's question:

Hello! My child is 3 years old and usually in good spirits. However, recently he has been coughing very badly at night, but is fine during the day. What could be the reason? How should it be treated? Are there any home remedies for this cough? Thank you!!
Additionally, my child doesn’t eat well. What should I do? He rarely eats snacks. Thank you!!!

Doctor's answer:

The chronic cough you mentioned is likely due to bronchospastic cough caused by airway hyperresponsiveness. It is recommended to visit a hospital to check if there is any damage to lung function. Drink more water and avoid crowded places and areas with a lot of plants.
There are many reasons that can cause respiratory problems in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and maintain a balanced diet.
