What should I do if my baby coughs while sleeping at night?

       Coughing in infants during the night can significantly disrupt sleep. The following measures are recommended to alleviate symptoms: 1. Maintain a comfortable indoor temperature—use air conditioning as needed to create a soothing sleep environment for your baby. Keep windows and doors open to ensure adequate indoor air circulation. 2. Position your baby on their side while sleeping and gently pat their back to help loosen and expel mucus.

       3. Elevate your baby’s head slightly by raising the head of the crib or using an appropriate pillow, to facilitate easier breathing and prevent respiratory distress—or, in severe cases, airway obstruction—caused by coughing. 4. Administer medications strictly as prescribed by a physician. Do not self-medicate your baby, as inappropriate drug use may worsen the condition.
