Question
How to handle the symptom of phlegm in a baby’s throat after discharge?
Answer
Based on the described symptoms, the baby may have excessive phlegm due to an upper respiratory infection. It is recommended to use expectorants and maintain good air circulation in the room. At the same time, the mother should avoid eating spicy and irritating foods and ensure the baby consumes enough fluids. If there is a suspicion of calcium deficiency, appropriate calcium supplementation can be considered. The use of antibiotics should be under medical guidance, as most cases are viral, and it is not recommended to self-administer antibiotics.
