Patient's question:
The baby has been coughing a lot at night, but not 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 almost made it better. But then the baby ate something cold, and now it's 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 secondary to a cold, the main treatment is to enhance care, prevent catching a cold, drink more warm water, and take appropriate warm fruit juice. If the cough has a lot of phlegm, a small amount of expectorant medication can be used to help. The diet should not be too sweet to avoid the phlegm becoming thick and difficult to cough up. If the cough does not improve after three days and instead worsens, it is important to see a doctor for an in-person consultation.The above is the advice for the question "How to treat a baby's cough at night but not much during the day?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
