Is it ok to pat your baby back to help to spit out (to be exact vomit out) phlegm in her chest? My baby is just 4 mo, and have been coughing so bad. We are using nebulizer but I don't see its helpful as she is still coughing so bad. I am told to keep a watch till Friday to see if coughing will continue and becoming bronchitis. Any mum can share their experience? Thanks !

Patting gently is fine but definitely not too hard as ur LO is still young. Neubeliser is to break down the phlegm to make ur LO be able to cough it out n breathe better. Too long might Lea to bronchitis and asthma if not careful. Do let ur LO sit up as there might be a backflow whenever she sleeps, causing her to cough more.
