How to treat an eight-month-old baby's night cough?

If an eight-month-old baby coughs at night, he should be taken to the hospital for examination in time. First, he should be checked for bronchial infection, and then a ginseng examination should be performed to understand the bronchi and lungs. If the situation is not serious, some expectorant and cough-relieving drugs can be used. If the cough is more serious, nebulization treatment is still required.

An eight-month-old baby is very sensitive and fragile, and can easily develop a cough due to the influence of outside air or large temperature differences. For parents, it is still quite troublesome to recover an eight-month-old baby, especially when the baby coughs at night. This is quite worrying for parents. Let's take a look at what to do if an eight-month-old baby coughs at night?

1. Find out the cause of night cough

There are many reasons why babies cough at night. The most common ones are bronchitis or pneumonia, as well as coughs caused by colds and fevers. Of course, it may also be an allergic cough caused by external cold air stimulation. Of course, the treatment methods are different according to these three situations. If it is bronchitis, symptomatic treatment is required, and the baby should be protected at the same time. Reduce the baby's coughing or difficulty breathing. If it is pneumonia, antiviral or anti-inflammatory treatment should be carried out, and the specific drugs should be used according to the doctor's choice. If it is affected by external cold air stimulation, then you should pay attention to giving your baby some anti-allergic drugs to alleviate this situation.

2. Strengthen the care of your baby

Parents need to take the baby's cough seriously, because the baby's body is different from that of adults. They are very sensitive and fragile, and it is easy for them to develop some diseases due to external stimulation. When the baby coughs at night, parents should find out the cause of the baby's cough and treat it symptomatically. Observe whether the baby has a fever. If the baby has a fever, he should go to the hospital immediately for antipyretic treatment.

3. Other auxiliary treatments

If the baby does not have some serious conditions, but just has a common cough, you can give the baby some lily porridge or rock sugar porridge, etc., which can moisten the lungs and relieve coughs. Chinese medicine methods can use these to achieve the purpose of moistening the lungs and relieving coughs. Of course, for the baby's living environment, you should also pay attention to strengthening the circulation of indoor air and increasing the humidity of the air, which can reduce the stimulation of these environmental factors on the baby.
