What to Do If Your Baby Has Phlegm but No Cough?

Question

My child has been very disobedient lately, crying and fussing, with phlegm in the throat but no cough. We have taken them to the hospital for a check-up, but there were no results. What methods can help my child?

Answer

Based on the description, your child may have a cold or bronchitis. It is recommended to use pediatric cold granules to disperse wind, relieve the exterior, clear heat, and detoxify, which is particularly suitable for symptoms caused by wind-heat colds, such as fever, headache, cough, and throat swelling. If the condition is severe, a chest X-ray or perspective may be required, and antibiotics such as azithromycin or cefixime capsules may be prescribed. For thick phlegm,Muxitan or compound licorice oral solution can be used to alleviate symptoms. It is also suggested to drink plenty of plain water or use nebulization inhalation therapy in conjunction.
