Question
What’s causing my two-year-old’s cough, phlegm, and red face?
Answer
This could be due to bronchitis or tonsillitis. Frequent coughing can cause a red face in babies. While taking medication, you can brew some sugar and pear water for them to drink. Diet-wise, it should consist mainly of light and non-spicy foods. Avoid feeding them irritating food and ensure they get plenty of rest. Also, pay attention to keeping them warm and protected from the cold. If the condition is severe, seek medical treatment promptly.
