What is the situation when coughing occurs every morning for a few days?

Patient's question:

My baby is four months old. Recently, every morning when he gets up, he coughs a few times and then seems like he's about to gag. During the day, it's a bit better... What could be the reason for this? A few days ago, it started that as soon as he wakes up in the morning and exerts himself, he coughs one or two times, sometimes seeming like he's about to gag. It never happens during the day... What could be the reason for this?
Past treatment history and effectiveness: No specific treatment has been administered.
Assistance needed: Should medication be used?

Doctor's answer:

The baby may experience the above symptoms again due to indoor air dryness or tonsillitis. Advice: The baby's condition can be improved by reducing indoor air humidity, increasing fluid intake, and the nursing mother avoiding spicy foods for dietary care. If the symptoms cannot be stabilized, the baby can take Xiao'er Qing Yan Granules for treatment.
