Question
My baby is over 6 months old and has been coughing after waking up from a nap for the past few days. They had bronchitis pneumonia at the end of January. What can I do to stop my baby’s cough?
Answer
The baby’s current cough could be a symptom of a cold, with night coughing possibly related to lingering urinary tract inflammation, or perhaps another cold, or it might be due to pediatric asthma triggered by air changes. In summary, these are common reasons for a child’s cough. It is recommended to give the baby plenty of water, avoid exposure to colds, and if necessary, take the baby to the hospital for a blood test.
