During the autumn and winter seasons, parents may find that their babies are prone to discomfort, such as coughing. It can be said that this is a symptom that many babies experience. Of course, coughing is not a disease, but a clinical symptom that is likely related to respiratory infections. So, why is baby cough severe at night?
Some babies have a cough that is fine during the day, but it becomes more severe at night, meaning they cough more frequently and the symptoms of coughing are also more severe. For infants, severe coughing at night not only affects their nighttime sleep, but also has a significant impact on the quality of sleep for parents.
Generally speaking, the temperature at night should be lower than during the day, so the cold air can stimulate the baby's coughing, which can become severe at night. In addition, the indoor environment is relatively dry, which can lead to a higher amount of dust in the air. As a result, some children may experience allergic coughing, which can make babies cough more severely at night.
Of course, a baby's vagus nerve and sleeping posture can also affect their cough, causing it to become more severe at night. Parents taking care of infants who cough at night should pay attention to their sleeping position. They can sleep the baby on their side, which helps to keep the airway open, so the baby's cough will be slightly reduced.
