Question
How should I handle a baby’s cough with phlegm, accompanied by fever and yellow mucus?
Answer
Based on the medical history, the baby may have an upper respiratory infection. It is recommended to take Guaifenesin syrup to help alleviate symptoms. Since the baby has yellow mucus and fever, it is suggested to administer antibiotics such as Amoxicillin granules for treatment, and ensure the baby drinks plenty of water. If the body temperature remains above 38.5 degrees Celsius, fever-reducing medication can be used. At the same time, physical cooling methods can be adopted, and the baby’s back can be patted to promote the excretion of phlegm. Maintain a positive attitude, actively treat the condition, to avoid it worsening into pneumonia.
