Question
How should a baby’s cough with yellow-green, thick phlegm in the morning be treated?
Answer
Based on your description, the baby has been coughing up yellow-green, thick phlegm in the morning for several days. After seeing a doctor and taking medication for a few days, the baby now has less phlegm in the morning, but continues to have intermittent mild coughs throughout the day. The baby has had a runny nose for about six days, sometimes clear and sometimes thick. The initial diagnosis is that the baby has developed a cold-induced infectious fever accompanied by bronchitis. It is advised to pay attention to changes in diet and environmental temperature. With the weather turning cooler, especially during afternoon naps at night, it is important to be vigilant about staying warm to avoid catching a cold or exacerbating bronchitis. It is recommended to drink more water to dissolve phlegm, and to treat with Lung Power Cough and Cefaclor Granules orally. Wishing the baby a swift recovery.
