Question
My child can’t cough up phlegm, and it feels like their throat is blocked. When they speak, they can’t make a sound, as if something is holding them back, and it’s particularly painful. I hope the doctor can provide a good answer, thank you!
Answer
This situation in children may be caused by the reflux of mucus from rhinitis or sinusitis. It is recommended to visit the otorhinolaryngology department for a follow-up consultation, and if necessary, undergo nasal endoscopy and sinus CT scan to make an accurate diagnosis and then receive symptomatic treatment. Wishing you health and success!
