Question
What could be the reason for a baby coughing up phlegm after drinking milk?
Answer
Phlegm in the throat may be due to a small amount of milk sticking to it after drinking, which will not affect breathing. Baby vomiting may be related to reasons such as sudden changes in posture, indigestion, gastrointestinal inflammation, gastrointestinal malformation, or brain diseases. Indigestion-related vomiting usually has a sour smell and may contain undigested milk pieces. It may also be accompanied by a decrease in appetite, bloating, and reduced bowel movements. If you notice these symptoms, you can give some digestive water in moderation to relieve them.
