What should be done if a child frequently coughs in the morning and at night?

Coughing, especially in the morning and at night, in children may be due to respiratory infections. Here are some measures that can be taken for relief:

  • Ensure adequate water intake to help thin out mucus.
  • Maintain a diet that is light and avoid spicy or irritating foods.
  • Consider giving some expectorant and cough-suppressing medications, such as ambroxol oral solution.
  • At the same time, consider taking immune-enhancing drugs like pidumod.
  • Drink plenty of water and take some lung-cooling and blood-cooling herbal remedies. It is recommended to consult a professional doctor for a personalized treatment plan.
