Question
How should I administer medication for my baby’s wind-cold flu?
Answer
Based on your situation, it is recommended to use herbal medicine for expelling wind and cold symptoms, such as the modified formula of “Jing Fang Baidu San.” Accompany this with plenty of water intake, a diet of light and plain foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, or greasy foods. Also, pay attention to keeping warm. If the child’s respiratory symptoms are severe, seek medical attention immediately and cooperate with the doctor’s treatment, which may include gastrointestinal decompression, as well as cultivating good hygiene habits. The child should maintain a reasonable diet and avoid consuming stimulating or cold foods.
