Question
My two-month-old newborn has phlegm in their throat and is making a hiccuping sound. What should I do?
Answer
The two-month-old newborn has had phlegm in their throat and been making a hiccuping sound for the past 8 days. The parents took the child to the hospital for a detailed examination, where the doctor suspected it might be bronchitis and recommended hospitalization for treatment. Before that, the child had already received intravenous injections (saline injections) for treatment. The child did not experience any adverse reactions to this treatment. The doctor suggested symptomatic treatment based on the results of a chest X-ray and blood routine examination, monitored temperature changes, and temporarily provided a light diet.
