When it is clear that the infection is bacterial, viral or mycoplasma, antibacterial drugs should be actively used according to the type of infection, for example, for mycoplasma infection, macrolide antibiotics, such as azithromycin, can be used. Once the infection is controlled, the symptoms of coughing and phlegm can also disappear quickly. Secondly, when a baby coughs with phlegm, we can use phlegmolytic drugs to help dilute the phlegm and promote its discharge.
