Question
Why does my 2-year-old cough when they wake up?
Answer
Your child might be suffering from a cold caused by exposure to wind and coldness, which leads to coughing. The characteristic symptoms include frequent coughing, thin, white sputum, and accompanied by clear runny nose, pale or slightly red and white tongue coating, loud coughing sounds, headache, and fever. In severe cases, wheezing may occur. It is recommended to use Sanao Soup along with medicine to reduce gas and resolve phlegm for treatment.
