A five-and-a-half-year-old child was hospitalized for ten days due to a mild mycoplasma pneumonia infection and treated with intravenous azithromycin and ceftriaxone before discharge.

Phlegm in a baby’s throat may indicate tonsillitis, and treatment primarily involves antibiotics. Consider intravenous injection or using traditional Chinese medicine like the Lantern Flower.

How to deal with a baby’s throat with phlegm

When a baby has phlegm in their throat, parents can adopt several methods to help the child expel phlegm, including ensuring good indoor air circulation, allowing the child to cry or laugh to expel phlegm, drinking plenty of warm water to dilute the phlegm, and using back patting techniques to promote expectoration.

For a two-and-a-half-year-old with throat phlegm, it is recommended to administer antibiotics and expectorant Chinese medicine, while also maintaining good hygiene habits and a balanced diet.

After a child has a fever due to a cold, they still have coughing and phlegm even after the fever subsides. They have previously taken pediatric cold granules and fever-reducing medicine, but still have a cough with phlegm. How can one effectively expel phlegm?

Infants’ respiratory systems are not fully developed, and if phlegm accumulates and cannot be coughed up, parents should help their children expel it promptly.
