Doctor's answer:
Considering this could be bronchial infection or pneumonia, it is recommended to go to the hospital for scans and diagnosis, with chest X-rays if necessary. For mild infections, anti-inflammatory medication can be taken for treatment. In severe cases, intravenous fluid treatment is advised. Additionally, phlegm is caused by inflammatory exudation and should be treated promptly by a doctor to prevent the condition from worsening. It is also important to take measures to avoid getting colds and to avoid contact with susceptible individuals to prevent the condition from becoming worse.
