Question
Lately, I’ve been having trouble sleeping at night because my child has been coughing throughout the night. Are there any foods or methods that can help alleviate this situation?
Answer
Firstly, a child’s night cough may be caused by respiratory discomfort or irritation of the airways. In this case, it is suggested to give the child some cough medicine and maintain a moderate indoor humidity to relieve the discomfort of the airways. Additionally, avoid letting the child breathe in cold air while sleeping; you can try using a humidifier in the room or placing warm water beside the bed. If the situation is severe, it is recommended to take the child to see a doctor for a more professional diagnosis and treatment.
