If the baby has a cough with phlegm, they can go to the hospital for. If there is a bit of cough and nasal congestion, it is important to keep the baby warm and give them more hot water to drink. When the baby coughs, gently patting their back can help them expel phlegm. Coughing is actually a protective reflex, so there is no need to rush to use lung-cleaning medications. If the symptoms are severe, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up to avoid missing the opportunity to treat the condition. It is crucial not to give the baby medication randomly and to ensure the safety of the medication.
