What Causes Phlegm In Throat For 8 Weeks Old?
My son i almost 8 weeks old and has had a lot of phlegm in his throat for 4 weeks. He is formula fed. We have tried saline, humidefier, elevated position, changed his formula etc. He keeps choking specially at night which is very scary. Should I be worried about cystic fibrosis. No family history for that. He weight is on track.
Many thanks

Choking episodes at night, possibility of Gastro-Oesophageal reflux.
I would suggest you to consult Pediatric Surgeon to rule out the possibility.
