Question

My baby has a more severe cough at night, but it’s not as noticeable during the day. The cough was lighter a few days ago, but now there seems to be phlegm. How should I handle this?

Answer

Based on the description, your baby’s cough is heavier at night and in the morning, which may be due to indigestion and cold exposure. It’s recommended to keep warm, drink plenty of water to help detoxify the body. The diet should be light, including vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins, and avoid greasy and fried foods. Temporarily avoid eating pork and its products as they are difficult to digest. Additionally, taking children’s lung clearing oral medicine may help with the condition.
