Question
How to handle phlegm in newborns?
Answer
Newborns have underdeveloped respiratory systems, and they do not cough up phlegm easily. It can easily get stuck in the throat, trachea, or swallowed into the stomach. Parents should timely help their children clear phlegm. If diagnosed with a respiratory system issue, they should cooperate with the doctor’s treatment and pay attention to their child’s balanced diet.
