1. Take anti-inflammatory drugs appropriately: Generally, if children cannot cough up phlegm, it is likely that they have inflammation, so at this time, they can take some anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve the symptoms. Children can take some cough and phlegm-relieving drugs, such as ambroxol oral solution, or azithromycin granules. After the inflammation is suppressed, the phlegm can basically be discharged normally.
2. Take Lung Heat Oral Liquid: Some children cannot cough up phlegm because of lung heat. When lung heat cough occurs, phlegm is easily blocked in the trachea and cannot be discharged normally. At this time, you can take some Lung Heat Oral Liquid, which can remove heat and reduce fire. Once the lung heat is removed, this symptom will not occur.

3. Patting the back: Gently patting the child's back can also effectively promote the discharge of phlegm, and it also helps promote heart and lung blood circulation. But be careful not to use too much force when patting the back, and pat when the child's breathing is stable.
