Question
Why do I cough so badly at night?
Answer
Coughing severely at night may be caused by wind-cold cold cough or bronchitis. In the case of wind-cold cold cough, symptoms usually include frequent coughing, thin, white phlegm, clear runny nose, pale red tongue, thin white fur, loud cough sounds, headache, and fever. In some cases, wheezing symptoms may also occur. This condition can be treated with the use of Sanao Soup and combined with medications that reduce phlegm and relieve cough. If bronchitis is the cause, infection control, expectoration relief, antispasmodic asthma treatment, and nebulizer inhalation therapy are necessary. Additionally, strengthening physical exercise, improving physical fitness, and enhancing immune function can also help prevent and alleviate cough symptoms.
