How to deal with a 10-month-old baby with phlegm in the throat and coughing?

Patient's question:

A while ago, I had a bit of a cold, runny nose, and some dry cough. I went to the hospital and got some medicine to take. The cold got better, but my throat still has phlegm that won't come out. Especially when I feed him, the sound is really loud. I feel he's quite uncomfortable, and it makes my heart ache.
Medical history and effectiveness: None
Desired help: Could you please recommend any medicine that can be taken without side effects? Something that works quickly, thank you!

Doctor's answer:

What you mentioned are all manifestations of inflammation, resulting from the body being infected by pathogens. Common pathogens include bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, etc. It is recommended to seek medical attention for proper treatment and avoid self-medication. Additionally, maintain a balanced diet, avoid catching colds, wear appropriate clothing to stay warm, and gradually reduce exposure to various adverse conditions to return to normal. These symptoms are still caused by respiratory infections. Active medication and symptomatic treatment are necessary. Drinking plenty of plain water is also advised. It is recommended to undergo a chest X-ray examination.
