What should I do if my baby has a cold, a sore throat with phlegm, and can't cough it up?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not doing well mentally, 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. What should I do if my baby has a cold, a sore throat with phlegm that won't come out?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, considering the possibility of a cold, it usually involves symptoms like coughing, phlegm production, and fever. The measured body temperature does not need to be adjusted by adding 0.5 degrees; a temperature above 37 degrees is considered a fever. You can use infant paracetamol and chuanxindan granules for treatment. Drink plenty of water, and it is very important to keep warm. If necessary, intravenous fluids can be used for treatment. Hello, based on your description, in this case, it is generally recommended that children with colds and fever should primarily consume liquid and semi-liquid diets. It is advised to eat milk, rice soup, mung bean soup, fresh juice, etc.
