Question
A three-month-old baby has a slight cough but no fever, and when burping, mucus is expelled. Parents are asking whether to use white radish or red radish to boil water for drinking.
Answer
For a three-month-old baby, coughing is usually accompanied by a common cold, with symptoms that may include runny nose, decreased appetite, slight fever (not exceeding 38℃), and low mood. These symptoms typically resolve on their own after the baby sweats, but coughing may last for 3 to 5 days. In this case, it is important to give the baby warm water, keep them warm, and avoid infection. If the symptoms are severe or do not improve, medical attention should be sought immediately. As for using white radish or red radish to boil water, generally speaking, white radish is more commonly used, but please note that this is not medical treatment and is for reference only.
