Question
The baby has had phlegm in the throat since birth, without any coughing. Previous treatment and its effects: Previous treatments have had no effect. Desired assistance: I want to know if this condition is serious. How should it be treated? Which type of hospital should I go to?
Answer
The baby may have an upper respiratory infection and can be given some antipyretic cold medications such as Qingkailing. After a cold, nasal mucus can flow back into the mouth or there may be phlegm due to coughing, especially when the phlegm is thick and the baby cannot cough up or blow their nose. It is recommended to perform appropriate care, including avoiding cold or overheating, eating fewer sweets and spicy irritant foods. You can take Ginothong orally and use ambroxol for nebulization to help expectorate phlegm, drink plenty of water. According to the description, this is due to irregular diet, insufficient water intake, and other factors causing inflammation. It is recommended to drink more water, maintain a light and regular diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and pay attention to rest.
