Question
My baby is seven and a half months old, and she always coughs while sleeping. It sounds like she has phlegm that she can’t cough up. I want to ask the doctor what’s going on and what should I do?
Answer
I’m glad to assist you. Based on your description, it’s suspected that your baby may have a respiratory infection, leading to difficulty in expectorating phlegm. I suggest patting your baby’s back to promote expectoration when she coughs, and you can give her Mucosolvan for expectoration and cough relief. It’s best to take your baby to the pediatric department of the hospital for a lung examination and follow the doctor’s instructions for medication treatment.
