Patient's question:
Baby was taken to the hospital five days ago and said there was phlegm in the throat. The trachea and lungs were fine, but the throat kept making a hoarse sound. Each caregiver had a different opinion, and I don't know what to do. It seems that the nose doesn't breathe well sometimes, but there's nothing serious—no coughing, no runny nose, occasionally a couple of chills. Should I take medication or will it worsen and lead to bronchitis? The breathing still sounds the same, and there's nothing wrong. Can I get a vaccine like this?Previous Treatment and Effect:
The previous two times were bronchitis. The last time, medication was taken for half a month and it improved. I'm afraid the phlegm in the throat will worsen again, leading to bronchitis.
What kind of help is needed:
Will the phlegm in the throat worsen to the point of bronchitis? Can I just endure without taking medication?
Doctor's answer:
Based on your description of your child's condition, there is phlegm in the throat and mild fever is suspected. Advice: It is recommended to promptly visit a regular hospital's pediatric department for examination, treatment, and blood tests to determine the type of bacterial infection. This will allow for targeted treatment. Additionally, under the guidance of a doctor, inhalation therapy can be administered to alleviate your child's condition. Currently, it is best to avoid vaccinations to prevent adverse reactions. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my five-month-old baby has phlegm in their throat?" and is hoped to be helpful. Wishing you good health!
