Suggest Treatment For Presence Of Phlegm In The Throat Of A Child
Hi, my daughter is 4 years old (14kg), she has phlegm in her throat and she like to hold it in. last night she vomited all her food, after her vomit, it seems her throat is cleared. I ve given her a dose of Phenergan (as it was previously prescribed by her pediatrician) last night. Today, I went to the pharmacy, the pharmacist recommended Rhinathiol Children , since the medicine i ask for is not available. Is it Ok to change medication? Should I just continue to give her Phenergan or changed to Rhinathiol?

Hi welcome to the health care magic
She should be consulted to pediatrician for examination..
Without examination no drug is prescribed
Auscultation done first to rule out rales or rhonchi if present
Thus could be from upper respiratory tract viral infection
If needed for vomiting ondensteron like syrup prescribed
If needed antihistaminic syrup you have mentioned might be prescribed
Take care
Hope your concern solved
