Question
What should I do if my child often coughs and has phlegm?
Answer
I’m glad to assist you. Based on your description, it is recommended that you take your child to a local hospital for a check-up. Considerations include conditions such as bronchitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, and pneumonia. Also, be aware of any other abnormal symptoms, such as fever or difficulty breathing. First and foremost, stay calm, allow your child to rest adequately, avoid smoking and secondhand smoke, and closely monitor their temperature changes. You can give your child some medication, such as Pulmo-Cough syrup or cefpodoxime, and if necessary, visit the respiratory department of a regular hospital for consultation. Under the guidance of an experienced doctor, determine the specific treatment plan, which may include nebulizer inhalation therapy, etc. Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
