Question
Why does my child have phlegm in their throat, crying and fussing, but no diagnosis after examination?
Answer
Infants’ respiratory systems are not fully developed, making it easy for phlegm to accumulate. It is recommended to drink more warm water, keep the indoor air fresh, increase rest time, and adopt a lateral sleeping position to help the child expel phlegm. If a respiratory system issue is diagnosed, treatment should be coordinated with a doctor, avoid irritating foods, and maintain good hygiene habits.
