What can I do to reduce my cough? Besides good nasal hygiene. Is it advisable to give syrup?

Question

Hello, for the last few days my 11 and a half month old baby has been coughing a lot, especially when he sleeps, which prevents him from having a restful sleep and from going through the sleep cycles. The frequency of his awakenings are very very numerous. Great, that's what I needed to hear. Thank you and have a nice day

Good morning, Mrs, You have done well with nasal hygiene, it is the best treatment for the symptoms you describe. You can do it as often as necessary during the day, and at least 30 minutes before bedtime with the aspiration of secretions with a baby fly. By 'cleaning' the nasal secretions, you can reduce their backward flow, which often causes coughing. It's a bit unpleasant but works wonders!(https://www.chusj.org/fr/soins-services/O/ORL-(otolaryngology)/L-hygiene-nasal?fbclid=IwAR3Skc6iLZj43ggrWpe1_1o13XdJVZtaRt-DXcd3_p5gdshd5AUwSmKTvds ) In this regard, syrups do not address the cause of the problem and are not considered effective or recommended. I would also encourage you to give him plenty to drink, even if it means giving him smaller amounts more often. I hope I've been helpful, and I'm available if you have any further questions!
