A one-month-old baby feels like there is phlegm after drinking milk, what should I do?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

One is a respiratory infection, caused by phlegm. Another possibility is congenital laryngeal stridor, which may be due to low calcium levels during the mother's pregnancy and poor development of the baby's laryngeal cartilage. If it is due to laryngeal stridor, this is not a serious issue, as most children recover on their own before the age of 2.
