Severe coughing in children at night may be caused by bronchitis or pneumonia. Additionally, severe nighttime coughing can also occur during colds or fever. When experiencing severe nighttime coughing, it is recommended to take cough-relieving medications as directed by a physician to alleviate symptoms. Commonly used medications include Compound Liquorice Tablets and Ambroxol Oral Solution.
