Patient's question:
My sister's child is three years old this year. He has had a cold for the past month. In the past few days, my sister noticed that the child has coughed with phlegm. The family was scared and wants to ask how to deal with a child's cough with phlegm. Is it better to eat a lot of lung-moistening foods at home?Doctor's answer:
Dear Inquirer,Your baby's constitution is currently relatively weak, and they have poor resistance to external factors, making them prone to catching colds and feeling cold easily. There is phlegm in the cough, which might indicate bronchitis or acute pharyngitis. The cough is relatively frequent, and the throat may feel sore and painful. You can consume many lung-moistening foods, such as pears, passion fruit, or boiled persimmon leaves to drink, or cook almonds and lily bulbs into a soup to drink. You can also take a lung-cleaning syrup and drink plenty of water.
