Why does the child cough with phlegm in the morning

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night, and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. Why does my child cough with phlegm in the morning?

Doctor's answer:

Children coughing with phlegm are usually caused by bronchitis or acute upper respiratory tract infection. It is recommended to conduct blood tests and chest X-ray examinations to rule out lung infections or bronchitis, and to use antibiotics and cough and phlegm-relieving medications.
There are many factors that can affect the respiratory system in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory system issue, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Children should have a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
