How To Treat Sickness And Chest Cold?
My 6 year old has been sick for over 3 weeks now with a chest cold and still hasn t been able to cough up his phlegm. He has no fever, but is always feeling lethargic.. We have been to the doctor twice, but have have told us to let it run its course.. Its been a week since he s seen a doctor and nothings really changed. What should I do?
