Question
What medication should a child take for phlegm in the lungs? Patient’s gender: Wang Yifei. Detailed illness and consultation purpose: It seems like I always hear him with phlegm in his lungs. The onset and duration of the current illness: It seems like it’s been there since birth. Current general condition: Sometimes it can be heard.
Answer
Phlegm in a child’s lungs may be due to cough caused by inflammation from upper respiratory infections. It is suggested to use some antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medications, combined with the expectorantMuxitan for treatment. If the cough is severe, consider having the baby inhale steam, as moist air helps to clear phlegm from the lungs and alleviate coughing. At the same time, make sure the child drinks plenty of water, and if there is inflammation, it may also be necessary to use antibiotics. If oral medications do not work, consider intravenous treatment. You can try giving the child fresh bamboo syrup oral liquid.
