Baby coughing excessively at night
My daughter aged 20 days. She is coughing and sneezing excessively at night. Only at night and very rarely during the day. Throughout the day time she is sleeping peacefully ( cough and sneeze occasionally twice or thrice) but during the night coughing and sneezing excessively and resultantly not sleeping. We have consulted pediatric 2 days ago. Doctor examined and told nothing to worry and prescribed saline nasal drop and Mucolite cough syrup drop. But situation not improving. Breastfeed, urine and poop is normal.
