Babies cough in the second half of the night, which is mostly related to respiratory infections. Because babies have relatively good immunity during the day, they can overcome the discomfort caused by the infection and generally do not cough. However, at night, especially in the second half of the night, babies' resistance is very weak, so they are prone to coughing. So, how to treat babies coughing in the middle of the night?
