A child’s persistent phlegm cough can disturb sleep and affect growth.
This issue is common among children, especially in humid areas like Kuala Lumpur, Klang Valley, Penang, and Terengganu.
Here’s how to help your child get rid of phlegm cough quickly and safely — including effective home remedies and the use of a special suction device.
Causes of Phlegm Cough in Children
Some common causes include:
🦠 Viral or bacterial infections – such as influenza or RSV
🤧 Allergies to dust, cigarette smoke, or animal fur
🌬️ Childhood asthma – causes excess mucus production

Cough with phlegm lasts more than 5 days
Voice becomes hoarse or breathing is noisy
High fever above 38°C

📌 Early medical attention helps prevent lung complications like bronchitis or pneumonia.
Quick & Safe Home Remedies
