Patient's question:
Hello! My daughter recently caught a cold and has been coughing with a lot of phlegm. The phlegm is yellow, and she also has a lot of nasal discharge—sometimes it's mucus and other times it's watery discharge, and it's also yellow. She always drinks some milk powder before going to sleep at night. Is this related?Her cough has improved somewhat, but it seems to be getting worse these past few days.
Doctor's answer:
If the baby has a cough, first check if the baby has a fever or cold. If it's just a cough, did the baby get cold? If the cough is severe, listen to see if there's phlegm in the baby's throat! Some babies may have a sore throat and some phlegm at intervals, so it's recommended to buy with prebiotics added, such as brands like Santian Meizhuan and Santian. Both domestic and international brands have added prebiotics to improve the infant's intestinal flora, prevent constipation and sore throat, and the baby won't have phlegm all the time.
