How to treat excessive phlegm in babies

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I don't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. How should I treat excessive phlegm?

Doctor's answer:

Since the baby is too young to cough up phlegm, even if the phlegm is coughed out, it will only swallow it into the stomach. If a large amount of phlegm and bacteria accumulate in the respiratory tract, it can lead to bacterial infection, causing further respiratory infections, and even pneumonia. There are many causes of respiratory diseases in children. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory system illness, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
