What to do if your child coughs badly in the middle of the night

Children's body resistance is relatively weak, and they are easily attacked by some diseases, such as colds, pneumonia and other common diseases. If they suffer from these diseases, children may have symptoms of coughing. Sometimes the cough is not severe during the day, but it will get worse in the middle of the night, which often makes parents very worried. So what should I do if my child coughs badly in the middle of the night?

1. Raise the pillow <br/>If the child has severe coughing symptoms while sleeping in the middle of the night, parents should raise the child's pillow. This can relieve the coughing symptoms to a certain extent and make the child feel more comfortable.
2. Let your baby sleep in a side-lying position .<br/>When your baby coughs in the middle of the night, you can change their position to a side-lying position, or you can hold them in your arms and keep them in a side-lying position, and then gently pat their back, which will help to discharge phlegm.
3. Keep the room temperature at a suitable state <br/>Children are relatively young and their body resistance is not as good as that of adults. If the indoor temperature is too high or too low, it is easy for them to catch a cold and cough. If the indoor temperature is not good, the child will cough more severely when sleeping in the middle of the night. Therefore, in this case, the indoor temperature must be adjusted to a suitable state.

4. Drink some hot drinks <br/>Drinking some hot drinks can also relieve the baby's cough symptoms. If the cough is severe in the middle of the night, you can make a cup of hot milk or hot rice soup for the baby to drink. The phlegm in the throat will become thinner and the cough symptoms will be alleviated.
5. Let your child eat some Sichuan Fritillary Stewed with Pear. Sichuan Fritillary Stewed with Pear has a good effect on relieving cough and reducing phlegm. If the child coughs severely in the middle of the night, parents can try to feed the child with Sichuan Fritillary Stewed with Pear, which can relieve the symptoms of cough to a certain extent.

6. Seek medical attention promptly <br/>If children cough severely in the middle of the night, or even have severe symptoms such as fever, it is recommended to take them to the doctor promptly and have the doctor check to see if there are any lesions elsewhere, and use medication under the doctor's guidance.
