Patient's question:
The baby has a cough with phlegm, most of which occurs after going to bed in the morning, with less coughing during the day.Past treatment history and effectiveness: Mucosolvan; Lanting oral liquid.
What kind of help is needed: Does the baby need to take antibiotics for coughing up white phlegm? Can Mucosolvan be taken alone?
Doctor's answer:
It is normal for children to sweat, as their sweat glands are more developed. Sweat gland secretion is controlled by the autonomic nervous system (vagus nerve). After falling asleep, the vagus nerve becomes excited, leading to increased sweating. Generally, sweating is more prominent on the head and face.Advice: However, this condition usually subsides within one to two hours after sleep. If sweating persists after sleep and is in large quantities, it may indicate a functional disorder of the autonomic nervous system. In some cases, it could also be due to calcium deficiency. Additionally, children who are active and engage in frequent exercise are naturally more prone to sweating.
