Coughing but only when sleeping?

Question

My daughter has been coughing for 4 days now but it’s ONLY when she’s laying down trying to sleep no other time. Has anyone delt with something similar or does anyone have suggestions on what to do. I call the dr and made an appointment but they cant get her in until the second week of September.

Answer

Ok a) mostly unrelated, I would be shopping around for a new pediatrician if there are any in your area. That is terrifying to me that you would have to wait two weeks or more for an appointment for an infant!
But to answer your question, it’s really common and can be a number of things. Especially if you just fed her, she could have mucus from either that or nasal mucus in her throat. I wouldn’t be concerned unless there are other symptoms. ☺️ I do however take my son to the doctor whenever I am suspicious so please don’t think you shouldn’t!!!

Answer

This time of year might be related to allergies. My son coughed only at night for like a year and it ended up being due to asthma.

Answer

Its the post natal drip. Her nose is probably draining into her throat causing the cough. Common with colds or allergies.
