Question
What medication should I give a three-year-old with a severe cough and throat phlegm?
Answer
Based on your description, a three-year-old’s cough accompanied by phlegm is usually caused by an upper respiratory infection, possibly due to bacterial or viral infection. It is recommended that you take the child to the hospital for a follow-up consultation if the oral medication does not show significant effects, and follow the doctor’s advice to choose the appropriate medication for treatment.
