Question
Why does a 2-year-old baby cough and vomit at night?
Answer
Hello, a baby’s cough and vomiting at night may be due to respiratory tract infection following a cold, along with symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, and fever. If these symptoms are present, it is advisable to use antiviral medications and expectorants for treatment. If the coughing occurs only at night, it may be due to insufficient indoor humidity and excessively dry air causing throat irritation. It is recommended to drink water promptly when waking up at night and maintain indoor humidity between 55% and 60%, which can help alleviate symptoms. It is also important to pay attention to a light diet and strengthen vitamin supplementation. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery!
