Answer
For a one-year-old nine-month-old child who still has tonsillitis and cough with phlegm after the fever has subsided, consider using children’s cold medicine to alleviate symptoms and pay attention to symptomatic treatment. While treating, also observe for any other discomforts in the child, such as nasal congestion or indigestion, so that appropriate measures can be taken in a timely manner. Additionally, maintaining good indoor ventilation, adequately supplementing fluids and nutrition, can also help the child’s recovery. If the situation does not improve or worsens, it is advisable to take the child to the hospital for a follow-up examination.
