Question
Can a 6-month-old baby with phlegm in the throat receive vaccines?
Answer
Phlegm in the throat in a baby may be a symptom of pharyngitis, which falls under upper respiratory tract infections. Treatment usually involves antibiotics, and options like intravenous therapy or using herbal teas like honeysuckle can be considered, with good results. However, whether it is appropriate to administer vaccines should be assessed by a doctor based on the baby’s health status and symptoms.
