Question
A mother of a 3-year-old child asks about her child’s nighttime cough, which happens rarely during the day and recurs frequently, lasting for a considerable period. She wants to know why her child has such symptoms and how to deal with them.
Answer
Based on the information provided by the parent, the 3-year-old baby’s nighttime cough, which is rare during the day and recurs frequently, may be caused by a cold or bronchitis. For the child’s health, do not take medication randomly. It is recommended to visit a pediatric department at a hospital for examination, including an X-ray of the chest, to determine the specific cause and receive symptomatic treatment. If necessary, intravenous medication may be required for better therapeutic effects. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish your child a speedy recovery.
