Question
The baby has phlegm in the throat with a sound of phlegm, coughing with phlegm for half a month, more coughing in the morning and evening, and no coughing at night or during sleep. The body temperature is not high, the sleep at night is good, and the spirit is still okay. Previous treatment and effectiveness: oral azithromycin, expectorant medication. What kind of help do you need: still unsure how to treat.
Answer
The cause of a baby’s cough with phlegm may be a respiratory tract infection or simply having phlegm in the throat. 1. If it’s a respiratory tract infection, anti-inflammatory and lung-cleansing medications are needed for treatment. 2. If it’s just having phlegm in the throat, try massaging the Tianchu and Lung Shu points, among others.
