Question
The child has a fever and a stuffy nose. They have already seen a doctor, and it has been diagnosed that there is phlegm in the trachea. What should the parents do?
Answer
The child’s symptoms may indicate tracheitis, which could be caused by viral or bacterial infection. It is recommended to undergo routine blood tests to determine the cause and take appropriate treatment measures. If the infection is viral, traditional Chinese medicine treatments such as Qingre Jiedu Oral Liquid or Shuanghuanglian can be used. For bacterial infections, antibiotics can be administered. Additionally, medications like Beisuoping or Ambroxol, which help clear the lungs and cool the blood, can be used. Best wishes.
