How to deal with phlegm in newborns

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said my spirits aren't good, affecting my work performance. Actually, I didn't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets serious, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. How should I handle phlegm in newborns?

Doctor's answer:

The respiratory system of infants and young children is not yet fully developed. If they have phlegm, they may not cough effectively, making it easy for the phlegm to get stuck in the throat, trachea, or be swallowed into the stomach. Parents should promptly help their children clear the phlegm.
There are many reasons that can cause respiratory issues in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, assist with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to let their children develop picky eating habits and ensure a balanced diet.
