How to deal with a throat feeling like there is phlegm

Patient's question:

Doctor, my child just turned two months old, a boy, and is breastfed. In the past two weeks, he has been sniffling and having difficulty breathing through his nose, and his throat sounds like there is phlegm. Using a hot water bag on his forehead hasn't helped either. He also loves to twist and turn vigorously. Is this due to a stomachache or a cold? Should we go to the hospital to check, or can it be resolved at home? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to measure your child's temperature to see if they are running a fever? Are they drooling? Are they choking on milk? If there is phlegm in their throat, it is likely that there is still inflammation. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for further examination. Infants have weak immunity, so there is no need to worry too much. It is best to take the baby to the hospital for further examination and provide additional treatment in a timely manner if there are any abnormalities.
The above is the advice for the question "Doctor, my child just turned two months old." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
