A member asked:

Toddler has constant phlegm in throat/chest, what can i give her to remedy this for a longer period.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to say: Without a review of her history, exam and needed testing it is not clear what may be needed or if anything would help. Most of the cough/cold combination medicines have been found worthless in kids under 6.
