Night Time Coughing of Toddlers
How do you stop night time coughing in toddlers? For a couple of nights now or a month at most, Matthew has been coughing consistently every night. I decided to search the internet about it too, since I believe that if my boy is experiencing this, I am pretty sure that we are not alone. Somewhere out there there are also parents who are searching and seeking for help about their child coughing every night.
So, how do you stop night time coughing in toddlers? Most of the answer you would find online is to use Vicks vaporub. Of course, this will not actually cure the coughing but it will suppose to help them breath to when they have a cold or their nose is stuff.
Another common answers that ‘experienced parents‘ gave is the weather or the room temperature. This one I could agree. In our case, it is true that the rough, barking cough starts during night time when we are about to go to bed. Being in a hot tropical place, we always turn on the air conditioning for a more relaxed and pleasant sleep.. but apparently this is the one that’s causing my boy to cough.
One parent advised:
Coughs seem to be worse when it’s cold. Yes the house might get a little warm but your child will sleep better and it will only be for a night or two. I tend to raise mine to 69-70 degrees.
I think that I’ll be following that suggestion first. Let’s see if that would work.. but I am expecting a sweaty night.
What else do you think that might be causing all those coughing? Appreciate any inputs.. Thanks!
