Question
My three-year-old baby mainly coughs during naptime at night, less so during the day, and this has been a recurring issue. How can this be resolved?
Answer
According to the parent’s description, the three-year-old baby’s nighttime coughing, which is less frequent during the day, may be caused by a respiratory tract infection due to a cold. It is recommended that the parents take their child to the hospital for a chest X-ray to confirm the cause of the illness and receive appropriate treatment. It is advised to avoid self-medication. Intravenous fluid therapy may be necessary in some cases.
