Patient's question:
My baby is seven and a half months old. She always coughs when she sleeps, and it sounds like there's phlegm she can't cough up. I want to ask the doctor what's going on and what to do about it.Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to communicate with you. Based on your description, considering the baby's condition, it is likely a respiratory infection with phlegm that is difficult to cough up. In this case, it is recommended that you gently pat the baby's back when you hear them cough to promote phlegm expulsion. You can also give the baby Mucosolvan to help with phlegm and cough relief. Additionally, it is best to take the baby to the pediatric department of the hospital for a lung examination by the doctor, and follow the doctor's advice for medication.The above advice is for the question, "My baby is seven and a half months old and always coughs when sleeping—how should it be treated?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
