Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My granddaughter is 2 years old and has had a cough . She awakened coughing and now is restless and making little sobbing sounds . She talks to me but keeps crying off and on. When I hold her and rock her she falls asleep but cries as soon as I go to lie her down.
There are different conditions that cause a severe cough. This cough disturbs her at sleep and weak her up crying. She needs to be seen by a paediatrician to listen to her lungs. In case of infection, antibiotics may be needed. You can give her ketotifen drops before sleep.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Olgeta Xhufka , General & Family Physician
