Question
Over the past two days, my child has had a slight cough every time they wake up, but they do not cough when they are awake. We haven’t gone to the hospital for a detailed check-up yet. I would like to know the possible causes?
Answer
Firstly, maintain emotional stability, get plenty of rest, and avoid spicy and extremely cold foods. You can take oral syrup or other medications for treatment. If the symptoms do not improve, you should go to a regular pediatric department for blood tests, chest X-rays, and other checks, and develop a treatment plan based on the results of the examination. At the same time, appropriately increasing indoor humidity can help alleviate symptoms. Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
