How to deal with a 9-month-old baby with a runny nose and cough?

Patient's question:

Baby is 9 months old, and I've been to the doctor for more than a week. At first, it was just fever, runny nose, and coughing. After the doctor examined her, now it's just occasional coughing. I always feel like there's phlegm in her throat that she coughs up and then swallows it back. Do I need to get rid of the phlegm?

Doctor's answer:

According to your detailed description, the baby's cough, runny nose, and fever are more likely to be respiratory infections. It could be pharyngitis or tracheitis, and it is recommended to give anti-inflammatory medication for symptomatic treatment, such as macrolide antibiotics and central lung-cleaning drugs for symptomatic treatment. The above is the suggestion for the question "Baby is 9 months old, has been seen by a doctor for more than a week." I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
