Coughing at night

My 2 yrs old keeps coughing at night when she sleep. So cough occasionally in the day but when it comes to night, it can be so bad to the extend that she vomit. And she cough the entire night. Anyone experience this before? #advicepls

Hi, there might be a few reasons: 1) She ate too much before she went to bed. 2) She has a sensitive nose, or throat which you might want to check with a specialist. My little was coughing for a while and we tried different ways. Finally, she doesn't cough anymore after we brought her to see the Ear Throat and Nose doctor. You may want to monitor. Hope that her cough will go away soon! Take care! Jia You!

thank you! i might bring her for checkup if things doesnt get better. she doesnt eat a lot, seldom drink milk before sleep, doesnt sleep with aircon. so i just couldnt find the reason behind this. did u manage to know why your LO was coughing ?

My 3yo too! Coughed for 1 month. Drink water, apply vicks, give medicine, honey, whatever it is but doesn’t work. We just realised it was due to aircon. (He sweats a lot thats why the need for aircon) but the room was just too dry for him eventho the temp is not even that low. Just changed some settings to the room and aircon and now alls good. Can try to find what’s the trigger.

unfortunately we do not sleep with aircon. everything is the same as before, just that recently its been like this every night 🥲

sounds exact same case as my 3 y.o. son. at first we thought it was something he ate at daycare, then maybe "heaty", never drink enough water. then my mom suggested maybe he shouldn't eat fruits at night, too "cooling". we stopped feeding. he stopped too.
