Question

What food or medication should you give your baby to relieve symptoms when they have a cough with phlegm?

Answer

When your baby is coughing and shows clear signs of inflammation, such as a rise in body temperature, yellow, thick phlegm, and an increase in white blood cell count in routine blood tests, it is crucial to seek medical assistance immediately and use antibiotics under a doctor’s supervision. Additionally, keeping the baby’s environment humid and providing warm water or warm honey water may also help alleviate the symptoms of coughing and excessive phlegm.
