🤧 Cold season is in full swing! If your child has a cough, know that it’s one of the most common symptoms of viral bronchitis (cold affecting the lower airway). Most coughs are the body’s way of protecting the lungs by clearing mucous and irritants. While coughs can be uncomfortable, they’re usually doing important work! Home remedies like honey (for kids over 1 year), warm fluids, and a humidifier can help ease symptoms and loosen mucous. Remember, yellow or green phlegm is a normal part of healing from a viral infection and doesn’t necessarily mean antibiotics are needed. However, call us right away if your child has trouble breathing, wheezing, a fever or a cough that lasts more than 3 weeks. We’re here to help you determine when a cough needs medical attention! 👉 Learn more:
