Patient's question:
The child has recently been experiencing a persistent, mild clearing of the throat with frequent "Hmm Hmm" sounds, occurring every few seconds. During naps at night, he never makes any snoring sounds. I would like to consult about the reason for this and how to address it.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby's condition is likely caused by a cold leading to sore throat. It is recommended to give the baby more water, more fruits and vegetables, and a light diet. Avoid snacks, drinks, and raw or cold foods. Consider using a nebulizer for throat and lung soothing.The child's condition may involve some throat inflammation. You can start by taking Pu'di Lan anti-inflammatory oral liquid for a few days, and it can be combined with nebulizer treatment. Pay attention to giving the baby more water, reducing crying, and avoiding spicy foods.
