Can My Baby Drink Pear Soup When They Have a Cold and Cough in Winter?

Question

It’s winter now, and my baby is a bit congested with a cough. Can I give my baby pear soup when they have a cold in winter? Will drinking pear soup make their cough worse?

Answer

If your baby has a cold with cough, you should first figure out if it’s caused by wind-cold or wind-heat. If the cough is due to wind-heat, pear soup can be given. If it’s caused by wind-cold, avoid pear soup. It’s best for your child to take medication under a doctor’s guidance after having a cold. Encourage them to rest and drink plenty of warm water. Try to maintain a light diet. These are the suggestions for this question, hoping they are helpful to you.
