How to treat a baby with phlegm cough

Patient's question:

There is a rattling sound in the throat, coughing occurs when there is phlegm for half a month, more coughing in the morning and evening, and no coughing at night or while sleeping. The body temperature is not high, good night sleep, and spirits are okay. Treatment history and effectiveness: oral azithromycin, phlegm-reducing drugs. What kind of help do you want: no further treatment needed.

Doctor's answer:

The most common reasons for a child's symptoms are two: one is caused by tracheal infection. The other reason is that there is phlegm in the baby's throat that they will never cough up on their own.
1. Treatment methods: You can go to the hospital for a few tracheal percussion examinations. Tracheal infection requires oral anti-inflammatory and lung-cleaning medications for treatment.
2. If it's simply phlegm in the throat, it can be resolved by massaging the Tian point and Feishu point, among others.
