How to treat cough when the baby is sleeping

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feeling anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. How should I treat a baby's cough when they sleep?

Doctor's answer:

The baby coughs while sleeping, which may be due to lying flat while sleeping at night, with the trachea and throat at the same level, making the original cough worse. Pay attention to keeping warm, as the temperature may drop at night, causing cold-induced coughing. Drink more warm water, and you can take some cough syrup before bed. There are many triggers for the respiratory system in children. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
