Question
The baby has been six and a half months old since birth, and there has been phlegm in the throat without any coughing. Treatment has been attempted but with no effect. Is this condition serious? How should it be treated? Which hospital is recommended for treatment?
Answer
The baby may have an upper respiratory infection. You can give the baby some cooling and antiviral cold medicine, such as Qingkailing. After a cold, children may have nasal mucus flowing back into the mouth or phlegm during coughing, especially when the phlegm is thick and not easy to cough up. Good care is recommended. Mainly, avoid exposing the baby to cold and hot stimuli, eat less sugary and spicy irritant foods. You can take Ginosong and perform ambroxol nebulization to expectorate phlegm, drink plenty of water. According to the description, this is due to irregular diet, insufficient food intake, and drinking less water, leading to inflammation. It is recommended to drink more water, maintain a light and regular diet, avoid spicy and irritant foods, and pay attention to rest.
