Suggest Treatment For Runny Nose, Coughing At Night Along With Sleeplessness
My three year old has had a runny, clear fluid, nose for several weeks... no fever, eating well. She coughs at night when while sleeping and frequently wakes up. Yesterday she had a coughing fit and ultimately expelled a large amount of (think) mucus. Any thoughts?

Hello. I just read through your question.
the most common diagnosis in Pediatrics, when considering these symptoms, is a harmless viral illness. However, the duration of symptoms, 3 weeks, indicate that there could be a bacterial infection going on. If this is the case, your daughter will require antibiotic treatment in order to resolve the illness. I recommend consulting with your doctor so that the correct diagnosis can be made and the appropriate treatment plan implemented.
