Patient's question:
The baby is 4 and a half years old. Lately, he often makes sounds like clearing his throat, one by one. When playing, it's fine, but it usually appears again when he's quiet. It was a bit noticeable the other two days, and it's been quite frequent today.Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of children's clearing their throats, excessive phlegm, dry throat, itchy throat, foreign body sensation, and throat discomfort are often seen after respiratory tract inflammation or in children with enlarged tonsils or adenoids. You can try inhaling treatment with a nebulizer. Anti-inflammatory treatment is also necessary, such as amoxicillin-clavulanate potassium, or traditional Chinese medicine preparations like Shuanghuanglian. In addition to medication, it is important to pay attention to care and prevention in daily life, such as avoiding colds and (flu) and preventing consumption of many irritating foods.
