Question
The baby is 5 weeks old and has been feeling gradually unwell, without any apparent reason. It seems to have lost its spirit. How should I treat a baby’s cold with runny nose and cough quickly?
Answer
It is advisable not to eat too cold foods. For this particular illness, I suggest visiting a hospital or a children’s hospital for a check-up. The key is to perform a lung percussion exam to see if there is any inflammation in the trachea and lungs, as children’s colds can easily affect the lungs. If it’s just a common cold, and it affects the urinary tract or lungs, the treatment will depend on the situation. Both meat and seafood can produce phlegm. Avoid any psychological stress, maintain a cheerful mood, and during this period, pay attention to adequate rest. Also, keep your diet simple, avoiding greasy and spicy foods, which will be beneficial for both you and the fetus in your womb.
