Why Does My Child Constantly Feel Like Theres Mucus in Their Throat?

Nowadays, bacteria are quite virulent, and children's bodies have poor resistance. If they do not take care, they are easily invaded by bacteria and prone to respiratory diseases. In such cases, children often experience a sensation of having mucus in their throat. Younger children may not be able to cough up the mucus, which can make them feel particularly uncomfortable. Parents should take this seriously and promptly bring their children to the hospital for a check-up to determine the specific cause of the illness and receive targeted treatment.

Firstly, what causes children to constantly feel mucus in their throat? If this sensation persists after a cold, it is often caused by acute bronchitis. Symptomatic treatment can be provided using expectorants such as Bromhexine hydrochloride tablets, Acetylcysteine capsules, and Ambroxol hydrochloride tablets. Antibiotics can also be used to control lung infections, such as Amoxicillin, Roxithromycin, Clarithromycin, Azithromycin, Ofloxacin, and Cefuroxime. If oral medication is not effective, intravenous injection can be considered. If symptoms such as chest tightness and wheezing are present, bronchodilators such as Aminophylline and Salbutamol can be prescribed. For allergic throat mucus, antihistamines such as Loratadine capsules and Chlorpheniramine maleate tablets can be used. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine can be prescribed for symptomatic treatment, such as Jizhi Syrup and Feilike Mixture, which can relieve cough and reduce mucus.

Secondly, what should parents do when their child constantly feels mucus in their throat? Here are two recommended remedies:

1. Radish Syrup Ingredients: 200g of red radish and 20g of maltose. Preparation: Clean the red radish (without peeling) and cut it into small pieces. Add the maltose and let it sit overnight.
