Question
What should I do if my baby sometimes coughs with phlegm in the throat?
Answer
Cough with phlegm in the throat in babies may be caused by bronchitis or upper respiratory tract infection. It is necessary to carefully examine and diagnose before effective treatment can be administered. Daily diet should be paid attention to, drink plenty of water, ensure adequate rest, avoid adverse stimulation, and appropriately supplement vitamin C. Antiviral drugs such as virazole, amoxicillin, and other medications can be used. For fever, Anruike can be used, combined with physical cooling. For coughing, dextromethorphan can be used; for excessive phlegm,Muxitan, fresh bamboo decoction, and others can be used; for runny nose, Piriton can be used. Specific treatment should follow the doctor’s guidance. The above information is for reference only.
