Question
My child is now 7 and a half years old, and he always snores while sleeping, as if there’s phlegm in his throat. Sometimes, he feels like the phlegm in his throat is disturbing his breathing, but he’s not suffering from a cold. What should I do, and are there any medications that can treat this?
Answer
Based on your description, your child’s snoring and the sensation of phlegm in the throat may be due to throat inflammation. It is recommended that you take your child to an otolaryngology department in the hospital for an examination to determine the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to keeping warm and avoiding catching a cold.
