Patient's question:
Coughing with phlegm is the sound of coughing in the trachea, feeling somewhat deep but not very heavy. I didn't go to the hospital. The dosage for children is 10 mg per kilogram, so for a child weighing 15 kilograms, they need to take 150 mg. Is this how it's calculated?Doctor's answer:
Infants and young children will never spit phlegm; even if they cough it up, they will only swallow it dry and instead swallow the phlegm into their stomach. Parents can hold the baby down when they cough and gently pat their back to help them cough up phlegm. Additionally, letting the baby drink more water and eating some snow pears stewed with Fritillaria cirrhosa can be beneficial. Wishing the baby good health and happiness. Your estimation is correct; if it's 10 milligrams per kilogram, then a 15-kilogram child should take 150 milligrams. Wishing you good health and happiness.
