Patient's question:
The baby has had a cold for more than a week and has been taking medicine for a week. Now, only in the morning when waking up, there is a cough for a while, and there is no cough during the day or at night. At night, while sleeping, the nose makes a little whistling sound. The baby is in good spirits. I want to know why there is a cough in the morning.Doctor's answer:
Hello, child. The morning cough may be caused by a sore throat due to a cold after catching a cold, or it could be due to excessive phlegm irritating the throat. As long as the child is in good spirits and does not have a fever, special treatment is generally not necessary. It is recommended to give the child more water and keep them warm. If the morning cough does not improve after a while, you should take the child to see a doctor promptly.
