When a child has a cough with phlegm, it’s important to first identify the cause and treat accordingly. Mild coughing helps to expel phlegm and may not require cough suppressants; severe coughing may warrant short-term use of cough suppressants or expectorants, while ensuring adequate fluid intake to thin out the mucus.
