Question
Patient: Female, 1 year old. In good health, coughs in the morning and at night. Previous treatment and effects: No allergies, no hereditary history. Seeking assistance: To go to the hospital for a check-up, throat not inflamed. Also, no cold symptoms. Can you provide some advice on this matter? Thank you.
Answer
Based on your description, I suggest taking some medication for treatment: Half a tablet of promethazine each time, twice a day. Be careful not to eat spicy or fried foods… The cough is often caused by lung diseases leading to lung Qi not being released and lung Qi rising. It is recommended to take some roxithromycin or azithromycin under a doctor’s guidance, along with Qingguo Zhoushuan Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine pill for stopping cough). Additionally, Shuanbei Stewed Pear (a traditional Chinese medicine recipe) can also be very helpful for the child’s recovery. Pay attention to giving the child plenty of water and always be mindful of preventing colds to avoid catching a cold. These are the suggestions for the question ‘What’s wrong with my one-year-old baby coughing at night?’ I hope they are helpful to you. Wishing you health!
