Patient's question:
My baby is just two months old and I don't know how it happened, but she has phlegm in her throat that she can't cough up. This makes her cry when she feeds, and once she was feeding as if she couldn't breathe. What should I do these past few days? Should she be treated like this? Can she have a nebulizer?Doctor's answer:
The child's condition is either a recovery from respiratory inflammation or a pre-scarring manifestation. Regularly patting the back and drinking plenty of water are the best ways to change the body position to expel phlegm. Only in severe cases can medication be taken in conjunction. The child's condition is initially considered related to respiratory inflammation. If necessary, a blood test and chest X-ray should be conducted for a thorough diagnosis before scientific treatment.
