Solidified Phlegm
My son has been suffering from Fever, Cough & Cold for the last 4 days. His fever is under control after starting Amoxycillin. But he has persistent cough with solidified phlegm that doesn't seem to come out. As per his Paediatrician's advice, we took a Chest X-RAY today that revealed phlegm in the lower part of his lungs. Now, his Paediatrician is advising him to get admitted to the Hospital so that medicines to loosen and clear the phlegm could be administered intravenously for 3 to 5 days. But we would like to get a second opinion before deciding to admit him. Can other options like Nebulizer, Inhaler etc be tried? Appreciate your advice and help. Thanks
