Occasionally, coughing is triggered by discomfort in the throat, and this symptom indicates that there may be phlegm in the baby’s throat.
2. Auscultation equipment: When using a stethoscope to auscultate, if you hear a whistling sound coming from your baby’s back and chest, it may be due to the accumulation of airway phlegm in the larynx, narrowing the lumen through which the air flows, which is also a sign of phlegm in the throat.
3. Observe the vomit: when the baby hiccups and spits up, you can clearly see that the vomit is more viscous, like snot, and it may also be phlegm in the throat.
