Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,
welcome to HCM,
phlegm cough is not so common at this age. Instead of trying various syrups which is not actually so useful during this age group, I would suggest you to consult a pediatrician breccias the child needs to be examined and depending on the finding in the chest a cough syrup or nebulization might be needed.
