Why do babies cough? 🤔

  • Changes in air in the respiratory system: Cold or warm air, dust, or allergens can cause coughing in children. ❄️🌞
  • Mucus and phlegm: Since babies' respiratory systems are not fully developed, the accumulation of mucus or phlegm can trigger coughing. 💧
  • Sensitivity: Newborns have a very sensitive respiratory system, so they may cough in response to changes in the air or even mild irritants. 😌💨

When should you be concerned? 🧐 If coughing continues in the following situations or is accompanied by other symptoms, it’s important to consult a doctor:

  • Fever or high body temperature. 🌡️
  • Difficulty breathing. 😟
  • Persistent coughing, especially lasting more than a few days.
