A member asked:
Is it safe to do infrared physiotherapy for cough with phlegm often? how many times would you recommend? this is for baby 18 mos.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not suggested: I would not suggest using this method of physiotherapy for your baby. If there is nasal congestion and a wet cough, most are due to viral infections and resolve within 10 days. Infants tend to swallow the mucus, and using baby nasal saline with gentle irrigation can reduce post nasal drip. If there is wheezing or an unusual sound, fever, vomiting, please see your PCP.
