Question
How to treat a child’s cough with phlegm?
Answer
A child’s cough with phlegm is usually due to a cold, and the cough helps expel mucus from the lungs. Blindly using lung-cleansing medications may be harmful to the child. It is recommended to take a cold syrup and also use lung-cleansing syrup, such as Chuan Bei Pipa syrup, to relieve symptoms. If the symptoms do not subside, it is advisable to visit a hospital for a follow-up consultation.
