Question
My child has been born for a few days, and recently, for some unknown reason, they have been constantly scratching their ears. How should I handle the difficulty in swallowing phlegm in toddlers?
Answer
Hello, considering it might be due to a cold or changes in weather, it is recommended to first check if there are any red and swollen symptoms in your child’s throat. Since the symptoms are relatively mild, you can give your child some over-the-counter cold medications such as children’s cold granules and amoxicillin granules, and encourage them to drink plenty of water to keep warm and avoid catching a cold or being exposed to drafts. It is suggested that parents take their child to a specialized clinic for medical consultation and follow the doctor’s guidance for treatment. In daily life, attention should be paid to the child’s diet and fluid intake, hoping the child can recover soon!
