A. For a 3-year-old experiencing early morning dry cough, consider the following actions: 1. **Humidify the Room:** Use a humidifier in the child's room to add moisture, which can help soothe the airways. 2. **Stay Hydrated:** Ensure your child drinks enough water throughout the day to keep the throat moist. 3. **Elevate the Head:** Elevate the head of your child's bed slightly to reduce postnasal drip. 4. **Honey:** If your child is over 1 year old, you can offer a teaspoon of honey before bedtime, which may help ease coughing. 5. **Avoid Irritants:** Keep the room free from potential irritants like strong odors or smoke. 6. **Warm Saline Gargle:** If your child can gargle, a warm saline gargle (for older children) might help soothe the throat. If the cough persists or worsens, or if your child shows other concerning symptoms, it's important to consult with a pediatrician for proper evaluation and guidance. Never give over-the-counter cough medications without consulting a healthcare professional, especially for young children.
