Why does my child not cough during the day but cough at night? Is it effective to let the child drink warm water to relieve cough?

If the child is normal during the day but coughs at night, parents should pay attention to the many reasons that may cause this, such as choking caused by reflux of gastric contents, milk regurgitation, vomiting, swelling of the respiratory mucosa, etc. Parents need to take symptomatic measures if they find that their child does not cough during the day but coughs at night, and let the child drink more warm water to relieve the cough.

When parents are raising children, the thing they worry about most is that their children will get sick. Because children are in a period of rapid development, if they often get sick, their physical growth will naturally be threatened. Some children play well during the day and do not cough, but cough very badly at night. Parents are very worried and take them to the hospital for examination, but usually there is no big problem. So, why does the child not cough during the day but cough at night?

1. Why does a child not cough during the day but cough at night?

1. Children do not cough during the day but cough at night. This is mostly due to a special gastroesophageal reflux disease, in which the reflux of gastric contents causes choking cough.

2. The child may also cough and spit up milk, etc. Older children may complain of sourness, pain when swallowing, and stomach pain.

3. Coughing at night instead of during the day may also be caused by swelling of the respiratory mucosa and irritation of sputum produced by increased secretions.

2. What should I do if my child doesn't cough during the day but coughs at night?

1. If the cough is caused by the respiratory tract, you should first check whether there are proliferating lymph follicles on the posterior pharyngeal wall in the throat, and then check whether there are purulent secretions in the tonsils, or whether there is any hyperplasia or hypertrophy.

2. Another possibility is bronchial infection or bronchial pneumonia. It is necessary to keep the indoor air clean, let the child drink plenty of water, avoid eating sweets, take oral liquid for expectoration, and treat with atomization inhalation to dilute sputum, which can relieve the symptoms of night cough.

3. If you suffer from gastroesophageal reflux, you need to go to the hospital for further examinations, such as esophageal barium meal radiography, dynamic monitoring of esophageal pH value, and esophageal function tests.

4. Drink some warm water. For children who always cough at night, parents can let their children drink some warm water during the day. Warm water can promote the dilution or coughing of phlegm in the child's throat, and can also effectively relieve the tension in the child's throat, making coughing less frequent.
