Question
My 33-day-old baby has a stuffy nose and cough. We had a medical check-up yesterday and the lungs were fine, only with slight diarrhea, having a bowel movement twice a day. The mother also feels unwell with diarrhea symptoms, taking Lianhua Qingwen and Jukuyuan Nianci’an, and drinking mung bean water, but the baby also started to have diarrhea afterward. I’m wondering if the baby’s diarrhea can help reduce the heat.
Answer
According to the symptoms described, the baby may have a stuffy nose and runny nose due to an upper respiratory tract infection. It is recommended to provide more details about the baby’s diarrhea, such as frequency and the shape of the stool, to determine if it is loose stool.
