Child wakes up every morning congested, coughing and sniffing?
Maybe the child's room is too cold. Even if the temp feels good to you, it may be too cold for them. Try a humidifier. It will give the room a sauna effect. Read up on humidifiers and their effects and see if this is something that may benefit your child.
Why am i coughing so much during the night?
Whenever i go to sleep, i wake up in the middle of the night due to coughing and it lasts for more than 1 hour, meaning i cant sleep and go through sleep deprivation. This has lasted for 3 1/2 weeks, and after a hard practice my lung starts clogging and i cough every 1~2 seconds as well in volleyball. taking delsyum hasnt helped me, either. Right now it's 4'o clock am and i need my sleep because i am a teenager. I do have allergies, both my mom and i do. When it comes to health problems, she always uses allergies as an excuse from my nurse (headache, diarrhea problems, vomiting) and forces me to stay school. On that day i later found out i had bronchitis, but it healed in just few days. is it because of that? I know that allergies can cause me to cough but i dont believe that pollens get inside my house at 3am. the symptom of this cough are: - Chronic coughing - Mucus sounding when coughing - Wheezing while breathing in, and coughing after breathing out clearing out the mucus - Mucus comes back every 2~5 seconds - Mucus color is yellow and white(not green) - Afternoon cough during practice or a nap occurs around 4:00pm ~ 5:00pm, nighttime around 2am And those are the symptoms for now. Is there any solution to this? thanks
How can I help my baby stop coughing at night?
My 8.5 month old son seems to always have a cold. He does go to a nursery during the day. He is a light sleeper normally, but it's worse when he wakes up congested and coughing at night. We do the humidifier and his mattress is tilted. Any other things we can try? I know they can't really take any medicine at this point. But ever since birth, it seems like congestion keeps him up at night.
What is the best cough syrup for children?
My children's pediatrician prescribes someting called "A-Tuss" for them. It seems to work pretty well - better than the over-the-counter cough medicines you can buy at the store. Not that I recommend this (I'm not a doctor) but when I was about 6 or 7, my doctor told my mom to give me a tablespoon of Rye Whiskey. I don't know if it acted to suppress the cough or if it just knocked me out, but I did sleep well at night!
Do all kids with asthma cough at night?
my son used to have asthma. along with his main medication they gave him a steroid called xyopenex. (pronounced zopenex). i had to give him that treatment once a day at night and he never coughed at night. maybe you should talk to his doctor about it and see what they can give him. they may have to give him another med instead of albuterol. i can't remember the name but my son was on something else cause albuterol didn't work for him.
How do I stop coughing for 4 year old? He get cold and coughing every alternative weeks. Doctor says it is normal at this age but I can’t see his condition specifically at night. He couldn’t sleep.
There is no such thing as a normal cough. You could have got chocked, got an itchy throat or whatever, but you cough for a reason. If it is persistent or recurrent, disturbs sleep or exercise, affects mood and growth, then do something about it.A cold, by definition, has to come with fever. Without it, your kid is most likely suffering from allergy.If the cough occur or worsens with exercises like running and shouting, or occur between 1 to 5 am are usually bronchiolitis or asthma. Coughs that are worse the moment he lied onto, or get out of, bed are more likely post nasal drips.No test can replace the work of an experienced paediatrician. Go find one.But chances are the physical may return as normal coz your kid has no problem in the daytime ( and often once they leave home). Then a trial with a long acting bronchodilator ( airway drugs that works for 12 or 24 hours) is warranted. They’d bring you relief almost immediately. In the worse case scenario, he may need long acting aerosols of bronchodilator or steroids.It can be treated. It should be treated. It could be dangerous if left untreated so do something about it.Hope I don’t sound too long winded: there is no test better than the experience and skill of a paediatrician.
My child cannot sleep at night due to cough, but sleeps well during the day. Does daylight help reducing the cough symptoms in any way?
Well!!! It's common that toddlers would feel the irritation due to cough and can't comfort themselves much of breathing during night. As you know that during night the oxygen levels are low and it might impact thier sleep.Yes, vice versa toddlers get enough frsh air (depends on location) in the day time.However, doctors definitely prescribe the best cough syrup like kofarest which will help the kids sleep no matter day or night.I hope this helps!!!
Why does my son cough during the day, but not at night?
If the cough isn't bad and he is sleeping fine through the night I wouldn't bother with meds. Let his body learn to heal itself. If you feel there is a more serious problem there, or if he is just completely miserable then I would see/call his doctor first and see what they suggest for a cough for your son. We personally use triaminic thin strips for children with our son for day time if it s a bad cold, or we use night time if his cold/cough keeps him up and he isn't getting the sleep he needs to recover. Other then that some oranges or orange juice that has vitamin C in it will help some and making sure he is getting enough fluids.
Why could my 5 month old baby be coughing?
Babies are infection prone, their immune system is building so they easily caught to cough and cold.
