Patient's question:
How to help children with pneumonia to expel phlegm?Doctor's answer:
After the baby gets pneumonia, it is essential to rest in bed and maintain a quiet and well-ventilated room. In winter, the air is often dry, and with indoor heating, the baby's condition may worsen. It is best to have a humidifier in the room to increase the air humidity and facilitate the discharge of phlegm. Follow the doctor's advice to take medicine or receive intravenous treatment on time. Parents should not reduce the dosage or increase it arbitrarily, and they should avoid giving the baby adult cough and phlegm-relieving medicine to prevent the condition from recurring or to avoid various adverse reactions caused by improper medication use. During periods of phlegm, it is best not to give the baby cough medicine and focus on expectorant treatment.
