Question
The newborn is feeling unwell after catching a chill, and I’m asking for appropriate treatment methods.
Answer
Catching a chill in newborns can lead to common cold with wind-cold symptoms. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions such as the Jing Fang Baidu San for treatment, and to ensure adequate hydration. As for the timing of introducing solid foods, it is generally suggested to start around 4 to 6 months of age, but it should be adjusted according to each baby’s digestion capacity.
