Firstly, parents should give their child more water to drink, as hydration can help reduce internal heat and promote elimination. However, if the child's symptoms of phlegm in the throat are severe, timely treatment with medications such as bromhexine hydrochloride, pediatric cough and phlegm-relieving granules, cough and phlegm syrup, or ambroxol solution should be administered. Under the guidance of a specialist physician, proper medication can lead to noticeable therapeutic effects quickly, minimizing further discomfort for the infant.
