A 10-month-old child has yellow sputum and excessive mucus, and their nose is also stuffy. What could be the reason?

Patient's question:

The child is 10 months old and has yellow phlegm and excessive mucus with a stuffy nose. What should I do? They were given intravenous fluids at the children's hospital for 7 days, but it's still the same. How can I properly treat this?

Doctor's answer:

A child with yellow phlegm indicates a bacterial infection. In addition to taking anti-inflammatory medication, they should also take some lung-cleansing and phlegm-resolving medicine. It is recommended to try taking Cefuroxime Axetil tablets, Ambroxol, and Gancao Mixture together to see how effective it is. Regularly undergo prenatal tests and lab tests, and if necessary, have a chest X-ray to check for lung inflammation.
Having yellow phlegm and excessive phlegm with a stuffy nose are symptoms of an upper respiratory infection. You can discuss your child's condition with the doctor to see if the medication needs to be adjusted.
