How to handle cough with phlegm in children

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 might affect my health and work. By the way, how should I handle my child's cough with phlegm?

Doctor's answer:

Children in this condition are mostly caused by catching a cold or respiratory infections. If the situation is severe, it is not ruled out that it could be due to lung heat. You can use antibiotics like azithromycin granules and Cepacol to treat it. If combined with external medications like Yiqi and Yitie Ning, your condition can be relieved by first using alcohol to bathe for fever reduction, and then identifying the cause of the fever. There are many reasons for fever, the most common being infections, followed by connective tissue diseases, malignant tumors, etc. Don't rush to use medication first.
