Physiological factors
The baby's sleeping environment is too dry, which may stimulate the respiratory mucosa and nasal mucosa, causing the baby to cough and run nose at night. Keep the indoor humidity moderate, and the baby's symptoms may be alleviated.
Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI)
Baby's upper respiratory tract infection, serious nasal congestion when sleeping at night, can also cause cough and runny nose. You can spray the baby's nasal cavity with seawater to dilute nasal secretions and relieve nasal congestion. If the symptoms are serious, you can ask your doctor if you need to add ephedrine nasal drops.
allergic rhinitis
The baby suffers from allergic rhinitis, and the secretion in the nasal cavity will stimulate the throat and cause cough. Montelukast can be used to reduce airway reactivity, mometasone furoate aqueous nasal spray has anti-inflammatory effect, and loratadine has anti-allergic effect.
to be hospitalized/be admitted to hospital
Baby's cough and runny nose at night may also be other reasons, such as asthma and gastroesophageal reflux disease. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please take your baby to the hospital in time. At the same time, the above drugs should be used according to the doctor's advice, and do not use them by yourself!
