Question
What should I do if my child coughs up yellow phlegm in the morning?
Answer
If a child coughs up yellow phlegm in the morning, it may be due to a respiratory infection. It is recommended to administer pediatric lung heat cough syrup, which has the effects of clearing heat, resolving phlegm, and relieving coughing and asthma. During a fever, the child should rest more and drink plenty of water. Generally speaking, symptoms should improve within 5 to 7 days. However, if there is no improvement in symptoms after three days and the fever continues, it is advisable to take the child to the hospital promptly for a medical examination to determine if it is influenza A or other diseases and to receive further treatment. Since children are young, it is recommended that parents take their child to the hospital for relevant examinations to ensure an accurate diagnosis and treatment.
