Question
For the past two days, the child has been coughing up a lot of phlegm, and started coughing non-stop yesterday afternoon. It’s hard for them to cough up anything. What was the previous treatment and its effect? No treatment has been given. What kind of assistance is needed? What should the child eat to make it more comfortable to cough up the phlegm?
Answer
Based on your description, the child is primarily experiencing coughing, with phlegm being coughed up two days ago, but now there is no phlegm to cough up. The current symptoms are likely due to inflammation of the trachea or bronchi causing cough and phlegm. The treatment mainly focuses on expectoration, cough relief, and anti-inflammatory therapy. Currently, since the child is unable to cough up phlegm, it is recommended to administer expectorant cough granules andMuxitanoral solution, along with medications like amoxicillin granules. It is crucial to ensure the child drinks plenty of water, avoid cold exposure, and closely monitor any changes in the condition. I hope my explanation provides some assistance.
