Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Hello, you can help your child cough up phlegm. It's important to do it frequently. When you're tapping, use your hollow palm and apply more force, like tapping a blanket. It might sound a bit scary, but the hollow palm won't hurt. You should tap from the bottom up, not directly in the middle of the back, but on the sides. Also, make sure your child drinks plenty of water, as this will make it easier to cough up the phlegm. However, avoid giving them sugary drinks.
