Patient's question:
The child is two years and seven months old. At night, they cough intermittently, sometimes at one or two in the morning, sometimes at three or four in the morning, and it's always with phlegm. A few coughs are enough to bring up the phlegm, and as long as they sleep well, they cough with phlegm too. Normally, they cough a few times when they have phlegm, but it's not frequent. They cough easily when running, and it's always with phlegm! It's been half a month now. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, besides coughing and phlegm, does the child have any other symptoms? Have you given the child any medication? The best course of action is to take the child to the hospital for a chest X-ray. Then, we can consider the next treatment plan. This is the advice for the question "How to deal with a two-year-seven-month-old child coughing at night?", and I hope it helps you. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
