Question
My baby is two months old, and recently I’ve noticed that his throat always makes a whistling sound as if there’s phlegm. I’m not sure if it’s hot phlegm caused by heat or cold phlegm due to catching a cold?
Answer
Your baby’s condition may indicate the presence of bronchitis, often caused by catching a cold. It is advisable to actively treat and prevent the condition. You should pay attention to keeping your baby warm, avoid exposure to cold, drink plenty of warm water, and consider administering medication like Lijunsha (an oral antibiotic) and antiviral oral liquid. Also, control your baby’s food intake appropriately, practicing small meals more frequently.
