Why is the baby crying a few times and having a little phlegm?

Patient's question:

The baby is 27 months old. Everything is fine before the nap, but they cried a few times. There's a bit of phlegm, and I thought it was from crying. But after sleeping, it's gone, yet they keep snoring. After waking up, their throat is basically hoarse, as if it hurts to talk. Besides the wheezing sound, they took some throat clearing pills. What's going on? What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the baby is 27 months old. Everything was fine before taking a nap, but after the nap, they felt like there was phlegm in their throat. After waking up from a full sleep, their voice became hoarse, and they felt pain when answering questions. They also coughed, except for wheezing sounds. My suggestion is to consider whether the baby is experiencing symptoms of a respiratory infection again. Give the baby more hot water to drink, carefully observe if they have a fever, and take them to the hospital for a thorough examination and medication. The above advice is for the question "The baby is 27 months old, and everything was fine before taking a nap." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
