Question
What should I do if my 1.5-year-old baby coughs with phlegm and runs a nose?
Answer
Consider the possibility of bronchitis. It is important to pay attention to both treatment and care during the process. The diet should be light, avoiding overly greasy and seafood dishes, and ensure plenty of water intake to prevent catching a cold. If the child is diagnosed with a pediatric respiratory system disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should have a balanced diet and avoid irritating and cold foods.
