Question
What should I do if my baby has a cough with phlegm?
Answer
Coughing is a protective reflex that helps expel phlegm. Therefore, it is not advisable to simply use cough suppressants but rather to choose cough syrup and expectorants like Compound Licorice Mixture. If the cough is severe and affects the quality of life, you can use centrally acting cough suppressants such as Kekexin or Kebiqing under medical supervision.
