What causes coughing at night

Patient's question:

More than half a year, daytime is okay, but nighttime coughing worsens, throat discomfort, eyes frequently blinking, and stuffy nose.
Past treatment history and effectiveness: Not good.
Test and examination results: Ophthalmology results showed chronic conjunctivitis. ENT results showed poor throat mucosa. Pediatrics results indicated that the condition was caused by a cold, leading to worsening lung texture.
Help needed: Want to know what the disease is.

Doctor's answer:

Children often experience recurrent cough symptoms due to upper respiratory infections. In this case, it's important to pay attention to drinking more water to dissolve mucus and also be mindful of the use of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medications. Additionally, you can take some herbal preparations that help moisten the lungs, expel phlegm, and relieve cough.
The noticeable cough symptoms in babies at night may not rule out their inherent allergic constitution. The low temperature at night and the stimulation of cold air can cause dry cough or even coughing and wheezing. In such cases, it's important to pay attention to keeping warm in daily life and reduce the frequency of episodes.
