Patient's question:
What causes persistent night coughing? It doesn't cough during the day, except for constantly running a nose. They have given him: Hutan, in addition to Amoxicillin Granules. What medicine should be taken for the cough?Doctor's answer:
At night, elevate the baby's head if the baby coughs persistently while sleeping. This can help alleviate the coughing symptoms. Raising the head is helpful for most coughs caused by infections because when the baby is lying flat, secretions in the nasal cavity can easily flow down to the throat, causing throat irritation and worsening the cough at night. Elevating the head can increase the drainage of nasal secretions backward. It is also important to frequently change the sleeping position, preferably alternating between the left and right sides, which helps in the excretion of respiratory secretions.
