Hello Cynthia,

Her symptoms of clear phlegm with brown discoloration can be due to acid reflux which is not uncommon in kids. Please read about it;

This is the reason of loud gulp noises from stomach. A little restlessness and coughing also can occur due to reflux. If there is fever and persistent cough; this will need an examination by a doctor to rule out any concomitant chest infection.

Please feel free for your follow up questions.

 

I would be happy to assist you further, if you need any more information.
