Patient's question:
The baby has had severe coughing since the beginning of December. A thorough examination revealed an upper respiratory infection, and a urine test indicated an allergic constitution. Previous re-examination suggested that it might be rhinitis causing the persistent humming in the throat. After treatment with medication, the cough has subsided, but there is still phlegm in the throat, causing constant humming. Yesterday, the baby has already started coughing up phlegm. Is it getting worse?Doctor's answer:
I am very willing to help you solve your worries and answer your questions. Based on your description, the baby is 1 year old, has a sensitive allergic constitution, coughs with phlegm, and has an upper respiratory infection. It is recommended that you take good care of the baby at home, drink plenty of water, get plenty of rest, and keep warm. The room should be well-ventilated, clean, and hygienic (remove dust mites from carpets, regularly clean the air conditioner filters). Try not to keep flowers or plants at home, and avoid keeping pets to prevent allergies. Maintain a light diet, avoid spicy foods, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
