Question
Why does my baby’s coughing get worse at night after the nebulizer treatment?
Answer
After the nebulizer treatment, the baby’s cough may worsen as the mucus in the airways is cleared, leading to more phlegm being expelled. This is a process where the body is clearing out phlegm. It is recommended to take the baby to a regular hospital for lung percussion or a chest X-ray to observe the effectiveness of the medication treatment. Remember to clean the baby’s mouth before and after the nebulizer treatment, and avoid eating or drinking within half an hour after the treatment. I hope my explanation helps.
