Children cough at night is severe wind or cold

A cough caused by wind-heat is usually characterized by thick phlegm, thirst, sore throat, fever, etc. It is often caused by exogenous wind-heat or wind-cold into the interior. Wind-cold cough is often characterized by thin phlegm, runny nose, itchy throat, etc. It is often caused by exogenous wind-cold. Therefore, it is not possible to judge whether it is wind-heat or wind-cold by coughing at night alone.

Children need to drink plenty of water when coughing at night, which helps to dilute sputum and relieve cough. Let the child lie on his side or raise his head to help alleviate cough symptoms.
