Question
My baby’s voice sometimes sounds good and sometimes bad, as if it’s stuck with phlegm but not coughed up. This situation has been going on for a while. I want to know what the problem is and how to handle it?
Answer
Your baby may have an acute upper respiratory tract infection, a common condition that often causes symptoms like nasal congestion, runny nose, and throat discomfort. If your baby has only mild symptoms, you can try some home remedies, such as brewing water with scallion roots, coriander roots, radish roots, and ginger slices for your baby to drink. If your baby has a slightly elevated body temperature or a slight cough, you can give them some medication, such as Yinqiao Jiedu Tablets, Baotai Kang, Yamanfen Syrup, Shuangqing Granules, Feilike cough medicine, etc. Please note that you should consult a doctor before giving any medication to your baby. In daily life, you should pay attention to keeping your baby warm and maintaining a clean and well-ventilated environment. Wishing your baby a quick recovery.
