Question
How to treat a child’s persistent cough at night?
Answer
Based on your description, the baby has been coughing for several days, has there been a fever and headache? Have you had blood tests done? If the cough is worse at night and better during the day, it might be related to the stomach. It is recommended that you take the baby for a routine blood test to see if there is an elevated white blood cell count. If the white blood cell count is high, antibiotics such as cefaclor can be used.
