What should I do next if a child has a cough with phlegm?

Answer

In such cases, it is generally necessary to conduct a detailed examination for mycoplasma and observe the symptoms caused by mycoplasma infection. Pay attention to maintaining a light diet, avoiding spicy, stimulating (irritating) foods, and greasy foods. Drinking plenty of water can accelerate metabolism. Additionally, during the treatment period, the diet and care of the child with a cough are also very important. The patient should ensure adequate rest and appropriate activity to avoid unnecessary harm. I hope this answer can be of help to you, thank you.
