If a child keeps coughing, it is important to give the baby small amounts of water, multiple times, and ensure the water is not too hot to avoid stimulating the throat. When the baby is having a severe cough, it’s best to hold the baby upright and gently pat the back. Also, maintain a comfortable indoor temperature and humidity, and ensure the cleanliness of the room is important. If the baby’s cough is severe at night, slightly elevate the baby’s head to reduce esophageal reflux and the irritation of cold air on the throat, while also keeping the baby warm.
