Question
What should I do if my baby has excessive phlegm, coughs, and has a clear runny nose?
Answer
After taking cold medicine, if the baby experiences an increase in phlegm and a runny nose, it may be due to a recurrence of the cold. It is necessary to strengthen cold prevention measures and use medications such as Shuangpu Pseudoephedrine Dispersible Tablets and Wind-Cold Cold Granules for treatment. At the same time, you can use blood-cooling tablets (carbocysteine tablets) and Guaifenesin Oral Solution for expectoration and cough relief. Also, use a nasal aspirator or bulb syringe to clear nasal secretions. Most importantly, ensure proper cold prevention measures, especially strengthening the warmth around the knees to prevent catching a cold.
