Many parents find that when taking care of their children, they may experience coughing symptoms when they wake up in the morning, but they usually stop coughing and their children show no signs of catching a cold. This makes parents very confused and unsure why this situation of coughing only occurs when they wake up. So, what is the reason for children coughing when they wake up?
Coughing is a common occurrence in children after waking up, which can be caused by two reasons. Firstly, after a night of lying down and resting, phlegm accumulates in the throat area of the child. However, when the child wakes up and the phlegm stimulates the throat with movement, coughing will naturally occur. It is advisable to use some phlegm resolving drugs to help alleviate this symptom and avoid coughing in children.
In addition, the second type is cough caused by allergies. Many children have an allergic constitution, and allergic cough is most likely to occur after waking up in the morning. Therefore, it is also a common cause of cough after waking up. You can take your child to the hospital for examination to determine the cause and allergen, and then try to avoid contact with allergens as much as possible, which will slow down the cough.
In addition, if the room is too dry or the air quality is poor, it can also cause children to cough and dry their throats. Parents should pay attention to providing more ventilation in the room to ensure fresh and clean indoor air, as well as comfortable temperature and humidity. Only in this way can children have a more comfortable sleeping environment and also play a role in ensuring their health to a certain extent.
