Question

A 4-month-old girl has a cold with cough and phlegm. Today, her coughing is particularly severe, and she can’t swallow or vomit the phlegm; it gets stuck in her throat, making her very uncomfortable. After coughing, she also vomited. What should I do? Are there any methods to prevent this kind of situation?

Answer

Based on your description, your child may be suffering from tonsillitis. To treat this condition, it is recommended to give your child symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication and medicines with a cooling effect. The situation should improve within a few days. At the same time, make sure your child drinks plenty of water and avoids eating spicy or irritating food. I hope these suggestions will be helpful to you, and wish your child a speedy recovery!
