Suggest Treatment To Cure Excessive Mucus In Chest

Hi my daughter is 6 1/2 weeks old and her throat is congested and her voice is hoarse. No runny nose or fever. I was asked to give her Ambrolex 3x a day. She was spitting mucus yesterday but today it is difficult for it to come out.
How can i make the mucus come out? Thanks.

HI...there is no way you force the mucus out in a 6 1/2 weeks old baby. Sometimes even though there is no mucus, because the breathing tubes are narrow, the air flow may give an impression that there is mucus there. So if the kid is active/ feeding normally/ not having fast breathing or fever you need not worry about it.
