Question

A two-month-old baby has developed phlegm in their throat, leading to crying and fussiness during feeding, and sometimes even difficulty breathing. How should this situation be handled?

Answer

The baby’s symptoms may indicate respiratory inflammation, and common treatments include patting the back, increasing fluid intake, and changing positions to help expel phlegm. For severe cases of phlegm, medication can be considered to aid in recovery. If there is an initial suspicion of respiratory inflammation, it is necessary to perform routine blood tests and chest X-rays for diagnosis before scientific treatment can be administered.
