Question
How should I handle a newborn who can’t cough up phlegm?
Answer
When a baby has a lot of phlegm, it is usually due to tracheal inflammation. Parents can administer safe antibiotics like cephalosporins for treatment, and at the same time, use medications such as snake gall and bamboo sap to help alleviate symptoms. If the situation is severe, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for professional treatment, including possible nebulizer therapy.
