Question
A parent asks about their 6-year-old daughter, who has been suffering from symptoms of phlegm in her throat, mouth twitching, and eye blinking for over a month.
Answer
Doctors suggest that in addition to pneumonia, conditions like rhinitis or chronic sinusitis may cause mucus to reflux into the throat, leading to phlegm. It is recommended to take the child to a pediatrician or otolaryngologist for examination. If there is a lot of phlegm, consider using nebulizer therapy and expectorant medications. If the problem originates from the nose, treatment should be directed at the nose to address the issue fundamentally.
