Patient's question:
The baby coughs at 2:30 in the night, continuously coughing for several times, feeling like there is phlegm but definitely won't spit it out. During the day, they don't cough much, just occasionally. They have been given Yin Bei Qing Fei Granules, what should be done?Doctor's answer:
The child coughs at night, and there are reasons for it. Mainly, at night, due to the child's inactivity, mucus in the trachea continuously accumulates and increases. When the body position changes, the rapid movement of mucus strikes the sensory nerve endings of the trachea and urethra, causing coughing again. During the day, the child's constant activity prevents the accumulation of mucus, resulting in occasional coughing. The above situation is primarily related to respiratory inflammation causing excessive mucus discharge. The key to treatment is antibacterial and cooling blood.
