Some babies may not cough during the day, but they start coughing at night, which is called night cough. There are several types of night cough, one is mycoplasma infection, which has mild symptoms during the day and more obvious symptoms at night, and the other is allergic cough. So, what is the reason for a 2-year-old baby's night cough?
Firstly, if a baby coughs at night, it may be due to a problem with their sleeping position. If the baby sleeps in an improper position, it can cause discomfort in the lungs and bronchi, which can lead to breathing disorders. In this case, parents can adjust the baby's sleeping position by raising their head or holding them up and lying on their side. Gently patting the baby's back can relieve the discomfort.
Secondly, if a baby coughs at night, it is likely due to inflammation of the throat or allergic cough, which can make the throat feel uncomfortable and make it easier to cough at night. At this time, it is necessary to maintain appropriate humidity and temperature in the air, such as using a humidifier or hanging a damp towel, and placing a basin of water in the room.
One more thing, when a two-year-old baby coughs, do not use cough suppressants casually. Do not think that cough suppressants can cure the baby. Medications can also be harmful to the baby's body, and it cannot be determined whether the baby coughs due to a cold. If the cough is caused by allergies or poor air quality, the air should be purified instead of taking cough suppressants.
