Phlegm is a thick, sticky type of mucus produced in the lungs and lower respiratory tract. Produced in response to infection, irritation, or inflammation, it traps dust, allergens, and pathogens. While healthy phlegm is clear, colors like yellow or green usually indicate an active immune response. Cough and phlegm accumulation in kids during the monsoon are typically caused by viral infections and allergies thriving in high humidity. To manage this, keep the child warm, ensure adequate hydration with warm fluids, and use a cool-mist humidifier to loosen mucus. Consult a pediatrician if breathing difficulties occur.
