Patient's question:
A child who is five and a half months old feels like there is phlegm in their throat. They have taken cough and phlegm-reducing medicine as well as anti-inflammatory medicine, but it hasn't helped. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: none. What kind of help do they want: how to treat it.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, the child is quite young, and it seems that there is phlegm in the child's throat. I don't know how you were able to hear the sound of phlegm in the child's trachea or throat. Since the child does not have a cough, it is best not to blindly give them anti-inflammatory medication at this time. I suggest you take the child to a nearby clinic or hospital first to let the doctor listen to the child's trachea and lungs, and examine the throat area. After a comprehensive evaluation and understanding of the child's condition, targeted treatment can be administered. This will help the child recover quickly and thoroughly. Additionally, I recommend that the child drink more water to prevent catching a cold. Since the child is young, do not blindly give them medication to treat the condition until the diagnosis is confirmed. I hope my explanation can bring you some help.
