What should I do if a child coughs up phlegm?

Patient's question:

Easily catch colds, and the main symptom when catching a cold is coughing.
Previous treatment and effectiveness: Currently taking traditional Chinese medicine to enhance immunity and reduce inflammation.
What kind of help is desired: Is it alright to have a lot of phlegm with coughing?

Doctor's answer:

The child's condition is either a recovery from respiratory inflammation or a pre-scarring manifestation. Regularly patting the back and drinking plenty of water are the best ways to change position and expel phlegm. Only in severe cases can pediatric Qingfei Liangxue and Amoxicillin be taken together for treatment. The child's condition is not serious and aligns with typical inflammatory manifestations. Scientific anti-inflammatory treatment is sufficient for recovery.
