Patient's question:
Often have phlegm gurgling, not sure if it's serious. Medical history and treatment effectiveness: No treatment, haven't been to the hospital. The baby shows no reaction, it's normal, just makes gurgling sounds while feeding. Desired assistance: I want to know if it's serious or if I should go to the hospital.Doctor's answer:
According to what you said, the baby's urethra has inflammation, and the phlegm is a foreign object that the baby has coughed up. Coughing it out is beneficial for the baby, but the baby is too young to cough out the phlegm on its own. Therefore, it is still necessary to go to the hospital for treatment.Advice: It is recommended to take the baby to the hospital to get some expectorant medications. If the phlegm cannot be expelled for a long time, it may accumulate in the lungs, leading to lung inflammation. The baby is too young, so it is safer to have a thorough examination at the hospital.
