What is the reason for the child's severe cough at night while sleeping, but not during the day?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. Could you please explain why my child doesn't cough during the day but coughs severely at night when sleeping?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if your baby has severe cough, it could be due to bronchitis, pneumonia, or mycoplasma infection. Also, pay attention to whether it might be allergic cough. It's best to get a check-up to identify the underlying cause and treat accordingly. Simple cough relief can be achieved with medications like Acedim or children's cough syrup, combined with azithromycin to alleviate the condition. Alternatively, drinking rock sugar pear juice can also help relieve cough to some extent.
