Patient's question:
The child is over one year old and has a cough. There's a wheezing sound in his throat, and he has phlegm. He can cough it up, but he swallows it every time instead of spitting it out. Is it that he cannot swallow it and must spit it out instead?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to explain your question. According to your description, it is recommended to cough it out. ① The child's symptoms are considered a respiratory infection, which can be treated with medication. ② It is suggested to cough it out, but it won't cause much interference. ③ Drink more water to moisten and cool the blood. If the sputum is yellow, it may indicate a bacterial infection, and it is recommended to receive antibiotic treatment. The above is the advice for the question "What should I do if a one-year-old child coughs and makes a wheezing sound in their throat?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
