Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please advise on how to handle phlegm in a 3-month-old baby?Doctor's answer:
The child has phlegm in their throat and often cannot cough it out smoothly like adults. These annoying phlegm can easily block the respiratory tract, causing breathing difficulties. In severe cases, it may lead to breathing problems and even endanger life. There are many factors that can cause respiratory issues in children. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory system problem, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
