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 bit of coughing, but there is no coughing during the day or at night. At night while sleeping, the nose makes a bit of a snoring sound. The baby is in good spirits. I want to know why there is coughing in the morning.Doctor's answer:
Hello, child. The morning cough may be due to a cold symptom caused by catching a cold, or it could be a cough triggered by 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 needed. It's important to encourage the child to drink more water and stay warm. If the morning cough does not improve after a while, you should take the child to see a doctor promptly.
