Question
The 6-month-old baby has been coughing recently, with phlegm in the throat. The situation improved after taking medication, but last night, the baby vomited saliva containing red-brown, thick mucus. What could be the cause of this, and what should I do?
Answer
This condition could be due to nasal reflux caused by acute rhinitis, even though the mucus is being vomited, it may still originate from the nasal reflux. It is advisable to actively cooperate with medical treatment and consider a detailed examination and diagnosis by a professional otolaryngology specialist. In terms of diet, avoid spicy or irritating foods and choose light, easy-to-digest foods. Chuanhu Granules or Rhinitis Relief Granules can also be taken to aid in treatment.
