Question
The baby has been coughing up yellow-green, thick phlegm for a few days in the morning. After treatment, the amount of phlegm has decreased, but there is still a mild cough during the day. The symptoms have lasted for about 6 days, accompanied by runny nose, sometimes clear and sometimes thick.
Answer
Based on the description, the baby may have bronchitis due to catching a cold or infection. It is advised to pay attention to diet and changes in weather, especially keeping warm at night and during naps to prevent colds or exacerbation of bronchitis. Drinking plenty of water helps to thin out the phlegm, and symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication such as Pulileke and cefaclor granules can be taken orally for treatment. Wishing the baby a quick recovery.
