Why do children always cough at night and in the morning

Patient's question:

No high fever, good spirits, coughing at night, with phlegm, vomited twice at night two weeks ago. Past treatment and effectiveness: took anti-inflammatory medicine and cough suppressants. What assistance is needed: will it lead to pneumonia, what treatment should be done

Doctor's answer:

1. General treatment: Rest appropriately, drink plenty of fluids, and avoid inhaling irritating gases.
2. Symptomatic treatment: For lung clearance, oral ambroxol hydrochloride (15-30mg, three times daily) or compound licorice syrup (5ml, three times daily) can be administered. Strong cough suppressants like codeine should not be given.
3. Antibacterial medications: Amoxicillin (125mg, three to four times daily) or roxithromycin (75mg, twice daily) can be taken.
Lifestyle care: With effective treatment, the prognosis is good. Pay attention to rest, avoid catching a cold, and drink plenty of fluids.
