Patient's question:
There is phlegm in the upper throat but no coughing, and the nose is still stuffy at night. It has been about four or five days. Previous treatment and its effectiveness: No treatment. What kind of assistance is needed: How can I help the baby get the phlegm out?...Doctor's answer:
Cough, it should be the symptoms of bronchitis. Your symptoms have only lasted 4-5 days, so it should still be caused by a fever. Suggestions: First, it's important to control the inflammation. It's best to take oral antibiotics. If there's phlegm, you can try oral Xian Zhu Li. Also, be aware that normal children can also produce phlegm and have phlegm sounds. These can be treated with appropriate oral Xian Zhu Li to expel phlegm. Since the child is too young to know how to cough out phlegm, the phlegm will gradually increase as it is expelled by the cilia in the respiratory tract and swallowed. Some children may still have phlegm sounds long after a cold has subsided. This will gradually disappear on its own. Generally, it won't interfere with anything. However, the inflammation must be controlled first. So, at this time, it's necessary to suppress the inflammation.
