Patient's question:
My baby is 3 and a half years old. He caught a cold after the New Year, and later developed a cough, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Then, he only coughed up 1 or 2 times of yellow phlegm in the morning, and it was gone during the day. It has been more than half a year now, and it's still the same. In the meantime, he has taken medicine and had nebulization treatments, but it hasn't improved.Doctor's answer:
The child has developed cough again with phlegm, which is likely caused by acute tracheitis, primarily due to pathogen transmission. Active treatment should be initiated to prevent recurrence. It is recommended to give the child more plain water to drink, and the diet should be temporarily light for now, avoiding meat. When going out to play, pay attention to timely putting on and taking off clothes to avoid catching a cold again. With meticulous care from both dietary and lifestyle aspects, the condition can be alleviated.
