My 14 mnth old has excess phlegm in her upper resp. she keeps choking on it what can we do to help her rid of it?

Go to ER: Do *not* give her adult medicine. If you buy anything over-the-counter, don't buy combination medicines. Take her to the ER now because she sounds like she is having problems with her airway protection. She needs a full exam, possibly even a chest x-ray. Go now.
