Why does my baby have a dry cough at night? Is my baby's dry cough at night caused by rhinitis?

It is a common condition for children to have dry cough at night. Many new mothers will be at a loss. Because their bronchial mucosa is delicate and has low resistance to external bacteria infection, it is easy to get inflamed and cause coughing. Children's cough is actually an effective way to eliminate phlegm and foreign matter in the respiratory tract, but for frequent and difficult-to-control allergic coughs, full attention should be paid.

For mothers, the biggest worry is the health of their babies. For babies with relatively weak resistance, once they get cold or overly tired, they will not show any discomfort during the day, but will cough in the middle of the night when they are sleeping, which makes mothers worried and distressed. Here we will explain to you what is going on when babies cough at night.

For example, if a child has unhealed rhinitis, although we cannot see the mucus secretion, when lying down to sleep at night, the mucus will flow back into the throat and cause coughing. The morning is when the mucus is most accumulated, so some children will cough when they get up in the morning. However, because the rhinitis is not too serious, they will not cough during the day.

If a child has a long-term cough, it can be considered a chronic cough disease. Common causes include the following: the first is asthma, which is mainly manifested by repeated attacks of wheezing, chest tightness, and coughing; the second is allergic cough, which is also called cough variant asthma. Inhaling smoke or irritating chemical odors will aggravate the condition, and paroxysmal coughs often occur at night or in the early morning; gastroesophageal reflux also has an impact, and some babies experience this symptom after feeding.

Since upper airway cough syndrome is mostly caused by rhinitis, the first thing to do is to treat primary diseases such as nasal polyps, chronic rhinitis, sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, etc., to cut off the source of the disease, reduce inflammatory response, and reduce secretions; secondly, use some nasal drops, which can promote the recovery of mucosal function, promote the discharge of nasal secretions, and reduce postnasal drip; thirdly, pay attention to the child's diet and sleep, which can also help alleviate symptoms.

The child should be a little bit angry, which caused the dry cough without sputum. The symptoms are not very serious, but frequent occurrences should also be taken seriously. It is recommended that children drink more water, develop a habit of drinking water, drink water on their own, eat a light diet, eat less or no irritating food, and eat more fruits and vegetables.
