Patient's question:
The baby doesn't cough at all during the day. Coughing occurs when napping during the day or at night. There is no fever, no phlegm, no wheezing, no cold, no nasal discharge, and the baby is in good spirits and eating normally. What could be the reason? Is there a need for treatment, or should we wait and see?Doctor's answer:
When sleeping in a supine position, the abdominal organs and diaphragm are lifted, which can restrict the expansion of our lungs. At night, when blood Qi circulates to the lung meridian, the lungs then perform self-regulation, which may lead to mild coughing again. This is all a normal response. If the child is in good spirits and shows no other symptoms, it is recommended to wait and see for now. The above advice is for the question "How to treat a baby who doesn't cough during the day but coughs during daytime naps and at night?" I hope it helps. Wishing you good health!
