Question
The two-and-a-half-year-old girl baby coughs while taking her afternoon nap, and she coughs even when she is asleep. The coughing is more severe at night. What could be the reason?
Answer
If a two-and-a-half-year-old baby only shows coughing symptoms at night, it may be related to posture, allergies, or possibly inflammation. If the baby’s symptoms persist or worsen, it’s best to have a detailed examination at a local hospital to find the cause. After diagnosis, treatment can be administered under a doctor’s guidance. At the same time, attention should be given to the child’s dietary routine and prevention of catching a cold from the cold. Medications such as loquat syrup or loquat lung-clearing essence can be used to nourish the yin and moisten the lungs.
