Question
My baby seems fine during the day, but as soon as she takes her afternoon nap or just before bedtime, she starts coughing. This has been going on for about seven or eight days now. We’ve given her quite a few medications, but there hasn’t been any improvement. What could be the matter, doctor? What kind of medicine should we take?
Answer
Dear inquirer, based on your description, it appears that your baby might be experiencing discomfort due to nocturnal coughing. I suggest that you: don’t worry too much, you can give her honey pear water to drink, wear a mask when going out, avoid eating cold and raw foods, and take it easy on the recovery.
