What is the reason for phlegm in a baby's throat but no cough?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it might be a wind-cold cough, which is caused by exposure to wind and cold. This condition is characterized by frequent coughing, thin white phlegm, clear nasal discharge, pale pink tongue with thin white coating, heavy coughing sound, headache, body fever, and even shortness of breath in severe cases. It can be treated with San Yao Tang combined with herbs that lower Qi and resolve phlegm.
