Children are easily affected by environmental climate during infancy and early childhood, especially with the decreasing air quality. The trend of respiratory diseases in babies is clearly increasing. So, what should children do if they cough while sleeping on a hot kang?
Firstly, it is important to determine whether the child coughs while sleeping on a heated kang or before going to bed at night, as coughing before bedtime is a common condition for many children. It is likely caused by inhaling bacteria and dust, leading to abnormal coughing in the lungs. If a child coughs while sleeping on a hot kang, it indicates that they are not suitable for this type of sleep. Parents should make appropriate changes, such as turning on the air conditioning or heating the bed in advance, and turning off the hot kang while sleeping.
There are various reasons for children's cough symptoms, among which the most common is bronchial inflammation caused by a cold. Babies may have frequent coughing at night, and they are also prone to spitting out milk during feeding, accompanied by difficulty breathing, wheezing, and other conditions. Babies may also have phlegm, and parents should help their children expel the phlegm before taking medication to prevent the disease from spreading.
If the baby has a cough and a rise in body temperature, it is possible that the baby may have pneumonia. At this time, the baby's appetite will become very poor, and coughing will be irregular, making it easy for them to vomit milk when eating at night. Parents should make judgments based on their child's temperature and mental condition, and if unable to confirm, go to the hospital for examination and treatment.
