Question
A nine-month-old baby has recently been suffering from dry cough and nausea. Parents are inquiring about possible causes.
Answer
Based on the description, the baby’s symptoms may be due to indigestion. It is advised that parents pay attention to the baby’s diet, avoid giving overly greasy foods, and consider using traditional Chinese medicine to soothe the baby’s gastrointestinal system. Additionally, roasting radish seeds and removing their shells can be used to make a decoction for the baby, which can help promote bowel movement and improve constipation. If the baby’s stool is dry, it may be a sign of constipation. Parents should observe the baby’s dietary habits and appropriately provide juice, vegetable juice, or rice porridge to aid in bowel movements.
