What can a baby with a cough and phlegm, occasional nasal congestion eat?

Patient's question:

Five-and-a-half-month-old baby has a cough with phlegm, occasional nasal congestion, especially during naps with more phlegm. What kind of medicine can a baby this age take? How much should the dosage be? What kind of assistance is desired: accurate and comprehensive explanations from professional doctors...

Doctor's answer:

The hospital uses Mucosolvan for several treatments, or you can buy Mucosolvan syrup at a pharmacy. Mucosolvan is a commonly used expectorant in clinical diagnosis and is very effective in reducing mucus.
Suggestions: It can loosen and thin the mucus that has accumulated in the respiratory tract, thereby reducing the cleaning function of the respiratory tract. It adjusts the secretion of serous fluid and mucus, promotes the production of pulmonary surfactant, and enhances ciliary beating (enhancing the thorough clearance ability of the mucociliary transport system). When the mucus is dissolved, it naturally becomes easier to cough out.
