My baby has allergic rhinitis and coughs in the middle of the night

If your baby has allergic rhinitis and coughs in the middle of the night, it may be due to allergen stimulation, nasal secretions flowing back into the throat, and other combined diseases. It is recommended that parents take their baby to the hospital for treatment in time and conduct targeted treatment after a clear diagnosis.

1. Allergen stimulation: If the baby is exposed to allergens such as pollen and dust mites while sleeping at night, it may cause congestion and edema of the nasal mucosa, resulting in symptoms such as nasal congestion and sneezing. When the nasal cavity is not ventilated smoothly, the mucus will flow back to the throat, thereby irritating the throat mucosa and causing coughing symptoms. At this time, you can follow the doctor's advice to use drugs such as loratadine syrup and cetirizine hydrochloride drops for anti-allergic treatment;

2. Nasal secretions flow back into the throat: If the baby has a lot of nasal secretions and cannot be discharged from the body, the mucus will flow back into the throat during sleep. This will irritate the throat mucosa and cause coughing symptoms. At this time, you can use normal saline to rinse the nasal cavity under the guidance of a doctor, and use drugs such as budesonide inhalation aerosol for treatment;

3. Combined with other diseases: If the baby has allergic rhinitis and other diseases such as bronchial asthma and pneumonia, the above situation will also occur. At this time, treatment should be carried out according to different diseases. For example, patients with bronchial asthma can use drugs such as beclomethasone dipropionate inhalation aerosol for treatment according to the doctor's advice.

If the baby takes an overdose of cough suppressants or ephedrine drugs, the above symptoms may also occur. Therefore, it is recommended that parents take the baby to the pediatric department of the hospital in time for targeted treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
