How can i help my 4 year olds night time cough?
Your son sounds exactly like my 14 year old stepdaughter. She has had a cough like that since she was about 3. When we hear her coughing at night we wake her up so she can readjust herself to sit upright. Treating her like she’s a snorer has helped too, like those nose strips (sounds funny but they sometimes work). She always has water handy as well as a mist humidifier. Medications don’t seem to do anything for her. I would take your son to the pediatrician and keep a close eye on this. Damage can be done to the back of the throat from the coughing and you need to find out what keeps getting him sick. We had someone thoroughly clean our house and we started cleaning things like light switches, doorknobs, walls, furnace and vacuum filters, everything, on a regular basis. And we open windows as much as we can. When everyone is gone and I’m home alone I open windows in the dead of winter to freshen the air. She still coughs but my son’s “mystery allergies” are gone. Good luck. I certainl
