Patient's question:
The baby's cough at night is very frequent, but it doesn't cough much during the day. A few days ago, I gave the baby rock sugar pear water to drink, and then made garlic with rock sugar, which was almost healed, but then they ate something cold, and now they are coughing again. What should I do? Why does eating eggs with sugar make the baby fall asleep quickly?Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to carefully observe the baby's usual diet and mental state to see if they are normal, whether there is fever or lethargy, and rule out the recurrence of viral or bacterial infections. If the cough is a complication of a cold, the main approach is to enhance care, prevent catching a cold, drink more warm water, and take appropriate amounts of warm fruit juice. If the cough is accompanied by excessive phlegm, a small amount of expectorant medication can be used to help. The diet should not be too sweet to avoid phlegm becoming thick and difficult to cough up. If the cough does not improve after three days but instead worsens, it is important to see a doctor for an in-person consultation.The above advice is for the question, "How to treat a baby's cough that occurs more frequently at night and less during the day?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
