Question
What’s the situation when a child coughs at 1:30 AM and also coughs while running or jumping?
Answer
A child’s coughing at night may be due to allergies, asthma, or respiratory infections. Coughing while running or jumping might be caused by exercise-induced bronchospasm. It is recommended to take the child to a doctor to determine the cause of the cough and receive appropriate treatment. For treatment, cough medicine with expectorant and cooling blood effects can be used, and considering using lung-clearing syrup may be an option. If the child coughs while sleeping at night, slightly elevating the head can help alleviate the coughing symptoms.
