Many parents may notice when taking care of their children that their babies often have dry coughs while sleeping at night. The discomfort in the baby's body can easily make parents feel nervous. So, what's wrong with a three-year-old baby having dry coughs while sleeping at night?
A three-year-old baby's respiratory system has already developed. When dry cough occurs at night and no cough occurs during the day, it may be due to variant asthma or allergies to certain substances. At this time, it is recommended that parents take the baby to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to rule out the possibility of respiratory diseases.
Firstly, the temperature at night is cooler compared to the day, and it is easy to catch a cold if not careful, especially for babies with weaker immunity. Catching a cold can easily cause colds, fever, and other symptoms. Coughing is a normal thing for babies at this time, and it may also cause respiratory infections and sensitivity, which can also cause coughing at night.
Secondly, parents who use air conditioning at home should pay attention to whether it is due to prolonged air conditioning causing discomfort in their baby's throat leading to coughing, or prolonged air conditioning causing their baby to catch a cold.
Furthermore, it is recommended to minimize the presence of substances and gases that can easily cause allergies and respiratory sensitivity at home. If a baby experiences prolonged nighttime coughing, parents are advised to take their child for a detailed examination to determine if there is asthma or throat disease present.
