Question

How to Treat a Baby with Excessive Phlegm?

Answer

Since babies are too young to cough up phlegm, even if they do, they will often swallow it into their stomach. Once a large amount of phlegm and bacteria accumulate in the respiratory tract, it can lead to bacterial infections, causing further respiratory infections, and even pneumonia. There are many causes of pediatric respiratory system diseases. If a child is diagnosed with a pediatric respiratory system disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, coordinate gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Children should have a balanced diet and avoid irritating and cold foods.
