An 8-year-old boy has developed pharyngitis, feeling phlegm in his throat but unable to cough it up.

Patient's question:

It has been two months, and I always feel like there is phlegm in my throat but I can't cough it up.

Doctor's answer:

It may be caused by pharyngitis. Local applications of compound iodine glycerin, 5% silver nitrate solution, or 10% weak silver protein solution can be used to apply to the throat. Oral medications such as antibiotics, vitamins A, B2, C, and E can also be taken for treatment. Avoid prolonged and excessive voice use, and avoid exposure to allergens that may cause chronic allergic pharyngitis.
