Question
The child has a stuffy nose (possibly caused by air conditioning), is the cough cold or hot? Is “Carbocysteine Oral Solution” suitable for cold or hot cough? How can I ensure the child doesn’t cough or vomit while sleeping?
Answer
When a child lies down, mucus can flow backward and irritate the throat, causing coughing. It is recommended to elevate the child’s head while sleeping to prevent severe coughing and attacks. It is also suggested that the child not eat too much at night, as overeating can also cause coughing. Taking some digestive aids and foods, such as carrot soup, can be helpful. Upper respiratory tract infections caused by catching a cold are often viral infections, so it is recommended to give your child more plain water regularly, which will help them recover.
