Question
Why do children always cough at night and in the morning, without fever, feeling well, with phlegm during midnight coughs, and occasionally vomiting twice at night? What was the previous treatment situation?
Answer
Children’s nighttime cough with phlegm may be caused by respiratory infections or other reasons. Treatment usually includes rest, staying hydrated, avoiding inhaling irritating gases, and using medications such as ambroxol hydrochloride or compound licorice syrup to help clear respiratory secretions. If a bacterial infection is suspected, antibiotics such as amoxicillin or roxithromycin may be needed. Proper care and changes in lifestyle habits are often effective in improving symptoms.
