Question
My baby is two months old, and there is always phlegm and cough in his throat. What should I do?
Answer
Your baby’s condition may be due to wind-cold cough, caused by exposure to wind and cold. The symptoms include frequent coughing, thin and white sputum, clear nasal discharge, pale or slightly red tongue with thin coating, heavy cough sound, headache, fever, and even rapid breathing. Treatment can include San Nao Soup and medication to reduce gas and resolve phlegm.
