Question
Last night, I woke up and found that my baby’s small blanket had been kicked off. The baby was just wearing a sleeping bag. When I woke up this morning, there was a little bit of runny nose. This morning, it seems like there’s more runny nose than yesterday. Can my baby drink scallion, ginger, and honey water in this situation?
Answer
You can try giving your baby garlic slices in hot water or brown sugar water to relieve the congestion. At the same time, make sure to keep the baby warm. You can cut a piece of scallion and place it under the baby’s nose for them to sniff; the pungent smell of the scallion can also help relieve the stuffy nose. Moreover, be especially vigilant about keeping warm during cold weather and drink plenty of plain water. It is recommended to increase the baby’s intake of lactoferrin to boost immunity and prevent respiratory bacterial infections.
