Patient's question:
The baby is 9 months old, and I've been taking them to the doctor for over a week. At first, it was just fever, runny nose, and coughing. After the doctor examined them, now it's just occasional coughing. I always feel like there's phlegm in their throat that they cough up and then swallow back down. Do they need to have their phlegm cleared?Doctor's answer:
According to your detailed description, the baby's cough, runny nose, and fever are more likely to be respiratory tract infections, such as pharyngitis or tracheitis. It is recommended to provide anti-inflammatory medication for symptomatic treatment, such as macrolide antibiotics and central lung-cleaning drugs for symptomatic treatment. The above is the advice for the question "Baby is 9 months old, has been seen by a doctor for more than a week." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
