Patient's question:
I would like to consult about this. My child has started coughing since 3:00 PM in the evening when taking a nap, but doesn't cough at all during the day. Is it a cold cough or a hot cough? If it's a cold cough, will it get better if the house is warmer?Doctor's answer:
Cough is a protective reflex action of the respiratory tract, which helps to thoroughly clear foreign bodies and secretions from the respiratory tract. Based on your description of your baby's current condition, it is expressed that the baby coughs without other abnormal symptoms after deep sleep at night, so it is preliminarily suspected that the baby may have the following diseases: acute upper respiratory tract infection, tracheitis. Therefore, it is recommended to give your baby Lanqin oral liquid for treatment. If it is ineffective, it is recommended to go to a formal hospital pediatric department for examination and treatment.
