The child coughs at night, but not during the day

Perhaps mucus from the sinuses is dripping down the throat. Or it could be an allergy to something. Have him see an ENT specialist.

You should see a doctor to have your lungs and bronchi checked. The cough worsens at night because when the child is lying down, the phlegm shifts its position in the bronchi, accumulating not at the bottom but along the walls. It's possible that the cold wasn't fully treated.

Author, I'm experiencing the same. I have a very severe cough at night, but not during the day. It's been like this for a week now. My temperature is normal, and my throat doesn't hurt.

In my childhood, asthma used to manifest itself like that.

Feather pillows and featherbeds? Allergies. For ten years, I was treated repeatedly for "cold-like" illnesses, only to eventually discover it was an allergy to feathers, wool, and dust—meaning pillows, carpets, featherbeds, and other dust traps from the "affluent" Soviet lifestyle.

In short, as soon as I moved out of home and started living without featherbeds and carpets, everything miraculously cleared up. That was 20 years ago. I never go back home. My relatives value their carpets more than me, so let them live as they please.

It looks like asthma.

I had that same issue when I was a kid. Asthma. Go see a doctor.

Adenoids.

My child had the same thing. As soon as it was bedtime, 9 o'clock, there would be a wild coughing fit. You could set your watch by it. I tried everything: changed the washing powder, ironed everything including the mattress. We went to an ENT specialist, he prescribed his own special mixture, I went to the pharmacy, bought everything, mixed it, took it for a week - and it all went away. I think he told me it was some kind of bacteria in the throat that become active at night.

Night-active bacteria are quite something ))))))))))
Author, it's adenoiditis, mucus is flowing into the bronchi

When my child starts with a runny nose, they develop a night-time cough. The issue is that they never blow their nose. They sniff everything back in, and there's no way to make them blow it out. At night, all the mucus drains into the nasopharynx and irritates the throat lining, hence the cough. It's necessary to clear everything out before bedtime.

Author, my child used to have this constantly when he had an ear infection. There was no fever, the ears didn't hurt, and everything else was normal, but as soon as he assumed an upright position, he would start coughing severely.

Yes, it's most likely that thick mucus, which cannot be blown out, is trickling down the throat and causing a cough.

Possibly adenoids, take them to an ENT specialist urgently.

You haven't mentioned the child's age. If under one year, drooling could be due to teething. Try laying them on their side. Don't give anything! Especially since the doctor hasn't prescribed anything. If older, it might be a runny nose and post-nasal drip? It could also be an allergy to the bedding. Feathers from the pillow. Dust mites - you need to iron the bed linen thoroughly. The detergent used to wash the bed linen. But really, we can only guess. You need to see a doctor. What if it turns out to be asymptomatic pneumonia?

There's such a strange virus going around right now. My son (1 year 3 months) and I have been sick for three weeks now, and the night-time cough is really exhausting. We've never experienced anything like this before. Lazolvan doesn't help, nor do inhalations; today we bought Gedelix syrup, maybe that will work.

Allergic cough. That's how my bronchial asthma started.

I would consider the possibility of allergies; we had exactly the same story with coughing. A good doctor and an individual approach are needed here. We found ours at the Family Doctor on Usacheva Street, where there's a separate children's clinic—very convenient when everything is in one place.

And who did you start with? An allergist or a paediatrician? Mine's coughing too, ever since spring started, it just doesn't stop.. and specifically at night.

Asthmatic tests need to be taken.

We started with a paediatrician, and then they sent us to do all sorts of tests and see specialists. Turned out the child is very allergic, and it's rhinitis.. meaning snot accumulates at night and drips down, hence the cough and that's why it's only at night. As for an allergist I can recommend - Alexander Vladimirovich Korolev, he's simply magical, but he only practices at Family Doctor.

It's definitely because of the pillow 100%
A good quality pillow without natural down or feathers is needed.

And we sleep without a pillow, coughing very badly—a dry cough and only at night, for three days now! I don't know what it could be; we've removed the flowers, cleared away anything suspicious, even changed the room, and still it persists.

How do you deal with this???

Judging by the comments, if you go to the doctor, you'll just find out another "maybe..."

What was the mixture? We have the same problem, nobody can find anything, and the child keeps coughing badly.

We have the same problem, I can't teach them to blow their nose(( How did you manage to teach them in the end?

Please share the recipe

Fucking hell you're a piece of work

Yes, it's adenoids. We had the same problem. He was coughing, we ran around doctors and they all said in unison it was a viral infection. He often had a runny nose and it lasted a long time. Turned out to be adenoids already at the third degree. Now there's no runny nose but this night-time cough is just a nightmare. My poor little one. It doesn't happen often, of course, but as they say - rarely, but accurately. Now we're waiting for the operation. 18.01.22 they'll operate on my 2-year-old little one and I hope this torment for him will end!

Our little one turns one in a week. Same here. We've also tried the inhaler and all sorts of medicines. But Gedelix didn't help us. Just now I laid my daughter down slightly propped up, seems like touch wood she's stopped coughing.

Could you share the recipe?

Hello, what did you use to treat the cough?

And how old is your child? Have you been to the doctor? I've been treating my child's cough with Bronchobos syrup since he was 3 years old; with it, the night-time cough clears up in about 2 days, and his nose breathes more easily. Give it a try. Get well soon!

And what did you buy, what did you mix, how did you give it?
