Question
How to Loosen Phlegm in Children with Pneumonia?
Answer
After a baby gets pneumonia, they need to rest in bed and maintain a quiet and well-ventilated room. In winter, due to the dry air and the possibility of heating exacerbating the condition, it is recommended to use a humidifier indoors to increase humidity, which is beneficial for phlegm discharge. Follow medical instructions to take medication or receive intravenous treatment on time, and do not arbitrarily change the dosage or give adult cough and expectorant medicine to avoid recurrence of the condition or adverse drug reactions. When there is phlegm, cough suppressants should not be given; instead, focus on expectorants.
