What to Do When a Child Coughs with Phlegm?

Question

What should I do if a child coughs with phlegm?

Answer

The baby’s physique is currently relatively weak, with poor resistance to the outside world, making them prone to catching a cold and developing coughs with phlegm. This might indicate bronchitis or acute pharyngitis. The cough may be frequent, and the throat may feel sore and painful. They can consume various lung-moistening foods, such as pears, passion fruit, and cooked hawthorn leaves, or drink almond and lily soups. They can also drink lung-cleansing syrup and ensure they drink plenty of water.
