Question
Can babies eat bird’s nest when they have a cough?
Answer
The recent cough in your child may be due to a wind-cold cold, characterized by frequent coughing, thin and white sputum, and accompanied by symptoms such as nasal congestion with clear discharge, hoarse voice, headache, and fever. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine ‘San Nao Soup’ in combination with expectorant medication for treatment. For pediatric respiratory system diseases, once diagnosed, immediate medical attention should be sought and treatment should be followed accordingly. Also, gastrointestinal pressure should be relieved, and good hygiene habits should be cultivated. Parents should pay attention to their child’s balanced diet and avoid picky eating.
